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/

MODERATORS
Yeah I am also federated with lemmy.world and blocking that would silence the feed a whole lots more while being just as helpful to my psyche.
The commies are at least consistent and up to date on things. Which is insane since they insist on a economic system from 200 years ago.
I think the problem I have is that those outside of grad and hexbear also think their shit doesn't stink but I literally have seen people openly mocking a user for nothing because he made a comment elsewhere that means they keep going after him to punish him for his opinion on anything. It's cruel and fucking inhuman. It lacks all empathy and it's not hexbear that was doing it.
I also don't want to block people just for existing with other opinions. I couldnt do it in real life. I can choose to not interact.
Blocking feels like a bandaid for having a terrible community where everyone wants to be alone and right.
Feel free to report this. This should not be tolerated.
Hahahahahahaha ohhhh.... Yeah like that does anything. I've seen mods joke about it just being the person they all gang up on as if it was the thing to do.
I've had some good interactions with mods, but that... Was 1 person actually. Same mod basically.
The mods are a lot of the same people and someone from "outside" telling them they are horrified just brands you as another target for them to ignore as you get silenced out. The big communities are absolutely the worst offenders.
If they are mods, then you can shame them on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com
You can have a look, nobody hesitates to call out crappy mod behaviour
Edit: seems like your instance is not federated, this is what it looks like: https://sopuli.xyz/c/yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Hahaha oh my God that's kinda fun. Sorta a go scream on a mountain top style solution but a fun one at least.
I filed a few of these reports myself, it's nice.
And you can use them to send to people posting to a community held by a powertripper. They help making a change.
There are instances federating with hexbear and not dbo? Shits wack.
No, it's more than as their instance is quite small, nobody federated with that precise community
I mean, it’s an active choice by the instance admins at that point. Hexbear and lemmygrad are both well known for being what they are, and db0 is about as well known as a community in general and is one of the generally recommended federation choices.
You didn't get me.
On a small instance, remote communities are only federated if a user subscribes to that community. It wasn't the case for that community on OP's instance. It's a technical issue, no instances politics at hand here
Ah, okay. Yeah I misunderstood what you meant.
Wait until someone tells this guy how old capitalism is
I know that just fine. So what would knowing that matter or do for me? Or my comment?
I think it's just that your argument against communism seemed to be based on its age, i.e. it "being old and out dated."
(Agree communism is not great FWIW)
Yeah i thought it was a clever dig against it and also fun turn since I think I have had better conversations about modern day pop culture on hexbear.
I just wasn't exactly in favor of capitalism anyways just wasn't the point.
Thanks for being my sanity check on that.
I question what your criteria for a good pop culture discussion is if you enjoy discussions with a bunch of angry neckbeards
They like to watch modern movies and shows that aren't marvel, usually have good takes on influencera in here and have the right hate for vtubers.
Plus I think they are just closer to my age and social awkward nerds that are easy to call neckbeards. I'm not gonna get pop culture references of Gen X who seem to make a majority in here.
Gen X is overrepresented here relative to other social media, you’re correct.
It sounds like you’re just espousing super generic hatred for “mainstream” culture though.
And let me be clear, a nerd is nothing close to a neckbeard. You can be both, but those are not the same.
Why is it generic if it's how I feel? Isn't that just a way to claim people upset are wrong? The generic thing seems to be liking it. I'm just pointing out some of the awareness at least of what we are surrounded by anyways that doesn't seem true for people in the gardening community with a huge house in the suburbs.
I have stuff I like. I just get stuck between young people panicking about existence in a shit world and gen x ignoring it with memes from 3 decades ago in here.
Yeah it's annoying it's the majority of conversations in here, but I don't going around assuming people are neck beards help gets us off that.
What’s wrong with “mainstream” culture?
What's wrong with wanting something else?
Are you replying to the right comment? That is nothing close to an answer to what I wrote lol
A vague question like yours does not imply you want an actual answer without dismissing it.
So why would I waste my time typing it out?
It holds just as much weight as your question so feels the same to me.
I asked because I wanted an answer. I’m assuming you have no actual thoughts on the matter, which is confusing
Am a mod of a few smaller communities but I think I speak for a lot of us. We aren't in every thread, but if you see rule breaking, report it. That's what we're there for. I know that sort of behavior is against the rules in my subs.
Yeah I think I've realized I'm really only seeing the basic big theads on lemmy.world and the moderation there is kill or be killed and whatever the mods giggle at is allowed. Which means they let dogpiling happen if it seems deserved.
I'm apparently in a rather small instance.
The benefit of the smaller instances IMO, you definitely get more control over your feed. Mods are still helpful, but reports do go to admins of your instance too.
