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/

I left Reddit because of Reddit, personally. I expect better if this community, it you may be interested night.
Also, I do wonder what protections Lemmy provides against bots. How do we know the people were taking to are actually people?
I can see the "if = of" typo, but I can't parse what the second half of this sentence is supposed to mean?
Hmm, maybe I need to give it 10 minutes after waking up to comment on the internet…
I think I meant to say “I expect better from this community, so you may be right”
But I must have clicked the suggested phrase from my keyboard.
I think I would be able to tell pretty easily if I were to encounter one lol
Unless they're way better at it than I think they are.
You're absolutely right, it would be pretty easy to tell, unless it was harder to tell than you think it is.
This is an insightful relevation that highlights the fundamental problem with one's ability to gauge the comparative skill level of one's own abilities.
You've phrased the dunning-krueger effect in your own words, and I think that's awesome!
Wut?
How can you know if the bot is using chat gpt? I think it’s at an out where you couldn’t tell.
