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 fediverse is worse than other social media (jlai.lu)

I know, it's an unpopular opinion. But for me Lemmy is not better than Reddit and Mastodon is not the New Twitter. They are something on reddit that I didn't find on Lemmy. Here there are obviously less people and less community and it's for the entire fediverse : the age of the population is incredibly high ! And for me the main subjects (politic, leftism etc...) is... sorry but ... I'm not interested about that so its vers boring to see my lemmy or mastodon feed when 90% of the content are political-content, its for me the main problem of the fediverse.

Honestly, fair enough. I'm with you on the politics and stuff, I have most of that blocked and just use my Fedi accounts for crafts (this one) and gaming and other nerdery (alt account). But I'm middle-aged so the older demographic suits me just fine :D

Just because you tried the Fediverse doesn't mean it's bad to not like it. You can't actually know if you like something before trying it, after all. It's not for you and that's ok, I wish you many fun times on whichever social media you like best!
