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/

If we really thought about it, there will be a raising amount of people who don't have a job and will not be able to get a job ever due to the decline in human labour needs, which lead to fewer jobs being offered globally which means that with fewer humans around there will be a higher chance for people to get a good job.
Humans consume resources, with less humans around there will be more resources for each humans and they will collectively consume less resources in total.

um you get how unpopular opinion works yea? you are supposed to vote if its unpopular or not. Its a bit tongue in cheeck when I announce my vote but this particular place to post expects people to vote. My downvote im saying I agree which means its less likely to appear as an unpopular opinion.

Thanks for clarifying, I didn't know that subrule, thought all votes were just for relevance or quality.

im actually a bit wrong as I look at this sidebar. im not sure if its changed or if there are several of these aping the reddit one. This one says to vote your opinion on what you think the general opinion people have on the issue which I actually do not like as I like the straw poll element if people vote their personal view oppositely. I should not have voted as I was doing the opposite of my personal view so imma takin it out.
