Unpopular Opinion
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.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

You're tired of ai content in your feed, but the majority of communities allow ai by proxy because there isn't a stance one way or the other.
The reason this was posted in unpopular opinion is because I am aware the popular opinion is an anti-ai stance. It makes the most sense to me to implement appropriate rules rather than have no rules and then be outraged when ai shows up in your feed.
Your argument that you should be able to post whatever you want just because there aren't explicit rules in every community is ignoring the fact that there is obviously an etiquette that you're observing that you shouldn't post slop in non dedicated communities. Just quit being a baby and follow the etiquette!
Just so you know, my preference is for no ai. I'm of similar opinions to you on the broader subject, but I'm just not confrontational about it. I don't agree there is an etiquette to be observed, the matter isn't mature enough to have developed one.
