Lemmy users project their toxicity towards Reddit. This place can be quite hostile if you don’t echo the ‘correct’ ideals.

Desktop computers are way better and more fun than using phone for browsing, wikipedia, news, and Lemmy

I rarely use my phone for anything other than texting. I like using my desktop computer to browse and post.

I prefer rap music by white artists because it’s less likely to feature the N word.

Abortion should be mandatory.

People keep arguing over whether abortion should be legal or not, but my opinion is that it should be forced on everyone whether they want it or not. Late term abortions up to 100 years after birth should also be considered for inclusion in this rule.

One of my favourite activities is finding controversial opinions, then taking an opinion so extreme that it makes everyone else look like a centrist.

too many dudes in this thread thinking eugenics and pedophilia are unpopular. They’re very popular and that’s a very bad thing

Black liquorice tastes good

Jack black isn’t funny at all. He’s worse, incredibly fucking irritating and annoying and a try hard. He epitomizes mainstream US “comedy”; obvious, loud, overstating the delivery of jokes with overwrought physical humor. He and Horatio Sanz must have studied under the same Sithlord. Can’t stand him.

Most people on Lemmy aren’t as kind or open-minded as they like to appear. There’s plenty of hate here, but it gets excused because they believe they’re “on the correct side.”

tl;dr: You’re just as hateful and close-minded as the people you claim to be fighting. Same behavior, different colored hat.

I’m frustrated more people are complacent with the state of the world, including myself.

The Beatles suck.
The Eagles are not as amazing as everyone thinks.

COD sucks. The only good ones were world at war and the original modern warfare series. That’s it. All others aren’t worth a shit.

Now before you respond, yes I know there are many people that agree with this, but with people I know in real life this is unpopular.

I think 10 years ago this would’ve been unpopular, but today maybe not so much:

systemd is great software. I don’t use distros that refuse to ship it. Especially the init system. Thanks, Lennart!

Sonic The Hedgehog (Sonic '06) is an absolute gem of a game in its original buggy mess form it released in. The bugs and frustration they cause only add onto the charm.

Also, the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog (not SatAM) cartoon is just as good, if not slightly better, than SatAM due to the absolutely goofy atmosphere. Some of the jokes in Adventures were great. Absolutely loved the joke on Sloww Going where they had Tails writing down whatever Sonic said they needed to rebuild a house for a family of sloths and when Sonic goes to look back at what he wrote, it’s nonsense and Tails has to remind Sonic that he’s only 4½ years old and doesn’t know how to write yet.

Saw a video pop up in the incognito mode thing for yt about Tails being a savage and I found a comment that absolutely resonates with why I absolutely LOVE that version of Tails as well and why he’s the best version of tails ever. They were saying how his personality really makes him feel like a little kid without a filter. Absolutely the best Tails ever, so I 100% agree with that comment.

OMG IM SO SHOCKED A BUNCH OF SUPER POPULAR OPINIONS ON LEMMY!!

What are the “unpopular opinion” rules on Lemmy?

My original understanding from outside Lemmy is you should upvote the truly interesting unpopular opinions for visibility.

For example:

• “I think potato chips are gross” - that is an unpopular opinion and I am truly interested in why you would say that…upvote.
• “Elon Musk makes some good points” - not interesting at all and probably political bullshit trolling…no upvote and a downvote if enabled.
