    Just what would the point of that be? Are folks really that concerned about some high score where they feel a need to engage in reciprocal voting?

      Reciprocal voting? That’s child’s play.

    Retaliate over a downvote? Nah. If people don’t like what I say, they have a right to express that.

      I want you to know that I downvoted you, but I did that out of respect.

    lol, downvotes (and upvotes) only have meaning for sorting and on some clients posts starting collapsed or so. why would you retaliate for someone thinking your post should be placed a bit less prominently?

      If you don’t stand up for yourself, no one will.

        if you “stand up” for something as irrelevant as a downvote, you’ll just exhaust yourself before the real challenges come up.

          The real challenges being getting reported or banned?

            no, the real challanges are staying open minded while not losing yourself and IRL

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.


6. Defend your opinion

This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don’t expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
