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/

If you host a lemmy with copyrighted materials puts your house at risk? Come on bro get some perspective
It is their instance at the end of the day that people are being invited to use while they take on the cost and risks of running it. There's no ads here no monetization plans, so they can come up with whatever reason they want to defederate with them not being some company.
I just don't feel there's the same usual expectations and demands of a normal monetized website with how it is just some random people's instance we are using. Self hosting is the only way to truly have control, but when you're a guest you just have to either accept the rules or move. We can't exactly say we are paying customers.
Host one and see. It’s very likely that Viacom won’t sue the shit out of you…but what if they did. That’s all.
And will you be paying for the legal expenses to explain this to the giant, lawsuit happy, media conglomerates?
Come on bro.
Who still owns houses? /s
