Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

One of the things I like about Lemmy over Reddit is how unpopularopinion is not as popular here as it was over there. To me it always had a kind of bad flavor of just yucking somebody else's yum. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I can't see the point of getting on the internet for the sole purpose of taking somebody like say Carol Burnett, who by all accounts was a nice person, and talking about her show, which was very popular, and saying "I don't like it or her, I didn't find it/them funny."

I guess I'm saying I don't really understand unpopularopinion posts. They seem like institutionalized trolling.

Hmm, perhaps this is a unpopular opinion.

I'm okay with this post, a lot of people don't like it seems

But truthfully, I have found most unpopular opinions to just be statements of personal preference , and those are completely pointless

Okay, you think chocolate is better than vanilla, who gives a fuck
