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/

Disabling downvotes by server admins on Lemmy is dumb and does not make any sense. (lemmynsfw.com)

By default, Lemmy allows downvotes globally. However, when a server disables downvoting, it is similar to using a feature that is usually reserved for enterprises and very small, non-federated communities.

If a user prefer to not see downvotes, they can disable it by his favourite client settings, but the rest of the community should not miss this functionality for the pleasure of few users.

Cute, you think your scenario is any way comparable to this one!

Its not, and reviving a month old thread to post cringe is sad and pathetic

Hate is hate. I guess ur just a hateful person.

Calling someone sad and pathetic isnt good faith its simply i have no argument and i must scream.

Haven't shown any hate here, but nice try

Calling someone sad and pathetic isnt good faith

No shit? I saw you coming in bad faith and replied in line, fucking shocker there innit?

I havnt said a single word in bad faith. You just seem to think its ok to disrespect some people because of their culture.

Bullshit

You just seem to think its ok to disrespect some people because of their culture.

Pretty sure I specifically called out flax for being one of those "christians are always the victims" kinds of people, which isn't disrespecting someone based on their culture: it's calling out a concern troll for what they are

You sound like a butthurt Christian desperately hoping you'll find a way to become the victim here, a month later. Sad and pathetic, as said before
