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.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Not when that thing has dozens of communities for every little nuance a genre can have. For example:
Block the instance
Edit: I love anime but my response was for those who don't. If they want less then subscribe to the local ones and block the anime instances that aren't local
Damn, I created [email protected] there, didn't know it would be so controversial
I love anime and I'm subscribed on there but if you look at the list if so many came from one instance then just block that instance from the app, I think there might be on the profile. Like:
But blocking the whole instance would also block other communities like [email protected]
I don't mean defederated but for the individual who hates amine just a one and done kinda thing
Ah, makes sense
Those moe are the worst because the majority are borderline loli.
I like the idea of Moe in concept because that's what it's supposed to be. But every day it was another upskirt drawing.
If it pops up on the top of lemmy.world and isn't loli, I don't block it. But there was a time a few months ago when every day was a new Moe that needed to be blocked. They weren't marked NSFW. But upskirt drawings of young girls are gross.
I’m with you on this. That may not be the intent, but it sure as hell is the vibe they give off.
I absolutely didn’t acknowledge that it isn’t the intent, I said it may not be.
I absolutely think that is the intent and I find those communities to be gross and have them all blocked.
You are so weirdly defensive about it. Almost like you know a lot of people find it highly questionable and they may have a point. If you think every anime fan is into that crap, you are very sorely mistaken, and if you don’t, you are using inapplicable generalizations to make a point and that’s just deceptive.
At least they are exhaustive
Right (appreciate the sparky comment), but there seem to be anime subs for every little anime niche there could possibly be. If it was all limited to a few anime subs this would never have been an issue. Block one or two communities, and you're done.
Instead, you have to play wackamole and block communities every couple of weeks that get created for some new niche that apparently is t filled.
Why do you care so much?
Because they are the communities main posters.
If someone would pretend that I spam the All feed with new football communities every few weeks when it's not the case, I would reply too
On the other hand, imagine wanting to block Linux communities, it feels like every other day there's a new one
I don't mind the linux communities as much, but there are a lot of them too.
I got the impression it's just a few people and the one I replied to was very hostile. They thought it was their right to post as much borderline loli as possible.
