My preferred way to browse here is using All and blocking communities I don’t want to see. That way I get exposed to new things I wouldn’t seek out on my own (for example: British archaeology)
I accidentally blocked a community while trying to block a user and when I went to unblock it, I saw I had 1250 communities filtered. If I had to guess, 90% are either porn, sports, or anime.
What about you?
I blocked /c/unpopularopinion after they deleted one of my posts, shut down the sublemmy, and then re-opened it with the rule “NO POLITICS”.
Meanwhile, the top fucking post is “I think people in prison should be allowed to vote”.
This is the type of shit guys.
That community, as well as the subreddit it came from, is a dumpster fire. It’d 99% bait or popular opinions.
I do agree with their no politics stance, though. There’s 473773 communities to argue politics on already
Unpopular opinion with no politics is like having an art subreddit which only allows images of blank white painted walls. Boring as fuck.
Eh I disagree unless you use the right wing definition of which is “politics is politics plus anything I don’t like”
There’s a ton of fun stuff to argue about.
I just personally don’t care to discuss trivial nonsense. Who gives a shit if someone likes their toast to be burnt?
It’s just a conversation starter. The comments in those posts about weird opinions can be pretty funny
The subreddit is really shit though. I’ve had posts removed where it wasn’t political, but got removed because “UHHHH IT NO AN UNPOPULAR OPINION! UHHH!!”
When, just gazing at the front page of the subreddit, you’ll find dozens of shit that were allowed to be posted that contradicts the entire meaning of the subreddit itself at every second.
The problem is that the moderators just cannot handle it when someone truly has something spicy of an unpopularopinion to express that isn’t gender, race or politically related.
