Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!

How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.

Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)

If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].

Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.

2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.

5. No trolling.

This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.

Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

The pay wall? A great way to get rid of bots. Letting the maga people back in? That sounds rather inclusive! Rate-limiting the free users, well you're probably on that platform too much anyway. Re-branding it to be "X", also seems fine tbh...

People love being told what to get angry over it seems, I doubt most of the people criticising him would have come up with these opinions on their own. They seem to just be parroting each other, while enjoying a shared communal outrage.

People do love being told what to get angry about. But if this is your opinion you either have not looked into any of what's happening, or you don't care because it doesn't affect you or because you agree with the shitty things being done. Either way no meaningful discussion is likely to happen based on your post lol.

You got me! I never used Twitter and think that the people who do use it should suffer. :D

Keep going Elon! You can doooo it!
