Lemmy sucks but a return to Reddit isn’t the solution (lemmy.world)

I don’t give a shit about a platform. I come from the phbb days when you sought out your communities and eventually landed with a bunch of likeminded people.

I ditched Reddit because I will not support their greedy race to the bottom. I won’t “just check the sub I’m in to occasionally” I’m done with it.

The only content I’m remotely interested in here in the fediverse is news related. And it’s boring as fuck. I didn’t go to Reddit for Reddit or news. I went there for the specific things I’m in to. Real shit, not memes.

I’m not going back there. And I can only yell at a wall here for so long.

I came for the cause as well. Im just having a hard time finding my people.

Memes don’t cut it.

I guess I am at a point where I can find enough interesting stuff that I can accept “If you build it, they will come” for now.

Basically, I’m not expecting the finished product yet, but things look promising. Hopefully the necessary momentum is there.

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.

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/
