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/

MODERATORS
Everyone gets tired of it at a different time. Someone found out about it just now and they are enjoying it just as much as you did the first time.
(this is the second post I see about jeans, I assume I am too "blocking c/*memes" to understand)
I can agree with that point. People might be late to the joke, or enjoy it for a longer time. But the quality of posts is also important, and I think that's the where the difference comes in. Someone takes the time to think of a good pun, or a high quality photo shop, I can appreciate that even if I don't fine the joke funny anymore. When the post is jeans jeans and it's a drawing done in 5 seconds in paint of 2 pairs of poorly draw jeans it's not funny and just upvote farming, whether you just discovered the joke or not. That's my take anyway, I know we won't all agree.
Shitposts aren't supposed to be high quality. It's in the name
They still should reach the bar of “not garbage” though.
Well that's up to the audience to decide
My nephews just started saying YEET and other mid-2010s "slang" all the time. I don't insult them for it (they are both under 10) but damn it gets annoying. I'm sure I did the same thing as a kid.
Shitpost trends that never die seen a lot more like that to me. Kids get a pass because they're too young to have their own thing but seeing teenagers and adults continue it....I wish they'd get new material.
