Yes, this had to be made because already I am a little disgruntled about how the main unpopularopinion community is ran and what content I’ve found on there. So I wanted to make a true version, the ‘true’ part being, that it’s sought for more thoughtful opinions that are beyond 2 lines and actually are more fleshed out we’ll say.
It is not meant to be a platform where bigots, racists, sexists can finally get their rocks off by being who they are. That’s what plagued the TrueUnpopularOpinion over in Reddit, it is infested with alt-right people pretending to be sophisticated and their mods are pushovers. I’m not aiming for this community to be that.
Oh boy, the ‘true’ versions of Communities have started.
Other options would have been to have
unpopularopinion@any.other.instanceor resurrect the one at lemmy.ml.There’s also one at exploding-heads, but I assume their version is full of posts about trying out empathy and understanding.
