It seems like anytime anywhere online, like Reddit and Lemmy, they make unpopularopinion sub-communities. They encourage people to post actual unpopular opinions that people may believe in or may have a different angle of a situation to express.
But everytime, they all fall apart because as soon as someone posts a real ones, the community and the moderators sound the alarms and get that person banned and post removed.
So why do they even bother? Because they’re too used to soft-ball like kind of expressions like “BEYONCE IS OVERRATED” or something. That’s not unpopular, when people think the same by a lot.
Looking at your posting history, your recent post… probably violates rules 1, 4 and 5: no politics, shitposting is okay as long as it’s not problem, and no trolling.
the answer to your question is that there are differences between opinions that are unpopular and opinions held by assholes. Believing that ice cream sucks is unpopular. Believing that poor people shouldn’t spend money on ice cream is vile. Do you see the difference?
(Just to be clear… ice cream does not suck.)
