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.
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/

I miss the 2000’s, when people were a little bit ashamed to admit they like anime. Now like half the people on the internet literally have anime profile pictures. It’s weird as fuck.
It wouldn’t even annoy me so bad if I didn’t constantly get targeted for anime related advertising. I can’t stand anime. Why does my algorithm think I want anime things? I will never buy a big titted anime figurine, and just seeing one makes me curse the gods for giving me sight.
Lemmy doesn't have an algorithm. Everyone gets the exact same feed, and you curate what you see using subs and blocks.
Which is why I use Lemmy
Except I think your instance affects what you see. Not all communities and instances are replicated everywhere.
That's not an algorithm.
An instance simply receives updates from all the communities to which at least one user on the instance has subscribed.
Instances do not send updates to every other instance on the fediverse, only the ones where there are users that follow the content in question.
That still means the differences will be small, as every reasonably sized instance is going to have at least one subscriber to every reasonably sized community.
Lemmy shows everything to everyone except if you block the communities.
Lemmy is like the only social media I have that doesn’t try to fist fuck anime down my throat strangely enough. I block them when I see them tho so maybe that’s why
I don't mind anime but it's multiple instances per anime and they're endless. Also I didn't wanna bring it up but so many of them are sexualized and weird
Dude anime stories, I’ll like read about it on tv tropes and be like “oh that’s a good story I’ll try it” and then it’s like infantilized women who are also sexualized in disturbing ways constantly instead, and the cool story idea kind of gets obliterated by it.
