If a person disagrees with an unpopular opinion, then they should upvote it
The person sharing their unpopular opinion is doing exactly what's expected of them, so why downvote it when you agree that's it's an unpopular opinion? An upvote would be you agreeing that it's an unpopular opinion. Downvoting it means you're either an A-hole or you disagree that it's an unpopular opinion.
Now I leave you with a joke. Silver was walking down the street and bumped into gold. Silver says "Ey, You'. Gold replies "Ey, G!"
If a person thinks more people should see an unpopular opinion, they snould upvote it. Theres no karma here. The function of up and down vote is promotion or relegation.
An upvote means that the content should be shared, a downvote means it should not.
And in walks the paradox
Yep.On the other platform, it often seemed to me like "unpopular opinion" was starting to be exploited as a loophole to promote intolerant views that would be downvoted nearly anywhere else. Paradoxically.
Which is a good perspective. Albeit arguably, but good
Downvoted. Popular opinion.
Should I downvote this then?
That's the question. It's a parabola paradox
Unpopular opinion, this is Lemmy/Kbin. Nobody gives a rat's arse about imaginary points and neither should you. Upvote or downvote as you feel.
No need to be grumpy. It's all in good fun
The problem with this system is that it never worked
We all know that. Everyone knows this. But getting over the csrnal drive to shit on people you disagree with is difficult for the individual, impossible for the crowd. That's why I take down voted as a sign of success, or deliberately frame things such that the people who would down vote can't without looking stupid.
This is how r/the10thdentist worked, and it became what r/unpopularopinion should have been. So I agree
My opinion or the shitty joke a gave you?
Your opinion lmao.
I agree, so I downvoted.
So, you’re saying I should downvote, because the chemistry joke is funny?
I wonder if on Lemmy, it's possible to just switch the up and down votes for a community?
Probably not. It's not that it's not possible, but that would mean that there's a change that the greater whole would have to make. Plus to code something as miniscule as that is neither worthwhile or profitable
Fitting name then
Upvotes shouldn't be tied to agreement imo
