The mods here are fair, and will never abuse their power. With that said, BANNED (/s, obviously)

Yeah. The admins locked it down a few days ago, as there was no active mods. They put out a request for moderators. They picked 3, and we’re open again!

What was the criteria for being chosen? If it didn’t involve picking up various types of fruit with your ass cheeks, then I don’t trust that you’re fit for the job.

They had a poll. Whoever got the least votes was elected moderator.

Thanks all for stepping up!

I know it was mentioned by at least one of the hopefuls in the new mods thread, but has there been any thought given to whether this place will steer clear of political posts? Everywhere else is pretty much overrun with them so it would be nice to have a community for just normal everyday unpopular opinions, but on the other hand the political bickering does result in lots of engagement so I understand if you’re planning to keep it around.

That’s a valid question. The mod team here is still working on ironing out rules and other things. That should be a topic we discuss. With that said, for now, political posts can be here, but the votes will determine if they are seen. Again, this is for now, while we try to stabilize things and determine our approach.

Absolutely fair, thanks for the reply. Will watch out for updates.

(Also, good luck pleasing both the “upvotes mean agree” and “downvotes mean agree” crowds 😉

Thank you so much! 🙏 I appreciate you all taking the reigns

Do you have any plans on improving the rules? Or are they staying the same?

Edit: oops, sorry I didn’t read the other comment where you said that y’all were still ironing out the rules ‘n’ such

Unpopular Opinion

!unpopularopinion@lemmy.world

Create post

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/
