    Oh I’m used to it, I know I have some controversial opinions.

    Hot take incoming: New 3DS XL is the best handheld Nintendo has ever made. Not only can it play every generation of games prior, it’s the latest clamshell they made, and it even has exclusives for it like the awesome GTA 3 and GTA VC (admittedly VC is a bit rough) ports.

      If you’re using voyager you can just copy and paste and it will handle it, usually, assuming your instance has image uploads enabled.

      I use Jerboa client on Android. It feels very much like the Reddit is Fun app.

      There are rich text buttons at the bottom of the new post field. One is a photo icon, click that and it takes you to your photo/file browser to select a pic.

      Here’s a pic I took of Earth’s bff, la Luna.

      You’re asking the wrong person. Due either to my client, or my instance, I get, like, a 20% success rate on attaching images. Most of the time I get an error.

      On my client, there’s a little picture icon. When I click that, it lets me select a picture and, if the wind is blowing in the right direction and the stars align, the picture is embedded. Otherwise, I upload to catbox.moe and manually embed the URL. The markdown syntax for an embedded image is:

    A bunch are usually people disagreeing and making up situations to make themselves right… i.e., you posit that the sky appeared blue when you went outside today, the replies are: not if it’s night, not during cloudy days, etc. and at least one that sounds like they disagree but are reiterating what you just said.

      I’ve made this observation before, but the funniest thing about Lemmy is that !ShowerThoughts posts elicit more controversy than !UnpopularOpinion. Like, someone posts “I love pineapple on pizza” in !ShowerThoughts, and it’s downvoted to hell with people writing long essays about how pineapple on pizza is justification for bringing back shock treatment. The same thing posted to !UnpopularOpinion brings out a mob of people saying how not unpopular an opinion that is, quoting statistics about how Hawaiian Pizza is the most popular pizza in America. It’s absolutely hilarious, and one of the few areas where the Lemmy community is truly contrarian just for contrarian’s sake.

      With the exception of populations of some instances which I won’t hex by bearishly naming, and a few individually excessive dicks (or trolls, but I think most are really just assholes), the Lemmy community tends to argue in good faith, admit when they’re wrong or have had their minds changed, and are generally polite netizens in most exchanges. But !ShowerThoughts and !UnpopularOpinion just being out the contrarian in people, for some reason.

        people writing long essays about how pineapple on pizza is justification for bringing back shock treatment.

        I’m here for the essays. To read them…and to write them.

        Have to get it out of my brain.

      • RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Unpopular opinion is just posting things that plenty of people actually agree with. Like pineapple pizza. An actual unpopular opinion would be something like agreeing with restricting abortion or something difficult that elicits very strong feelings.

    I’m pretty excited to see and check what gained traction

    source
  • kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Usually its when I either offend the libs on world or the fake leftists on ml/hexbear. Sometimes if I’m particularly skilled I piss off both of them at the exact same time (usually by advocating for true liberation for the working class not under a so called “vanguard” but by and for the workers themselves)

    source
    • sxan@midwest.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Thing is, it’s easy to offend people. It doesn’t take skill, or effort. And it’s not constructive; nobody in history has ever said, “you know, your comment about Communists all being retarded really changed my mind. I’m going to read Atlas Shrugged and become a capitalist!”

      Usually when I say stuff that pisses people off, it’s because (a) a joke fell flat, or was not obviously a joke; (b) I was reacting emotionally and said something I intended to be hurtful; © I express an unpopular opinion. As I get older, the reactions to © more often make me scrutinize my opinion, to make sure I’m not just stupidly parroting something my fascist dad taught me when I was a child.

      I used to play devil’s advocate, but it doesn’t feel good. It’s one thing if both parties go into it in good faith, and it’s clear neither is just trying to be a troll, but now? I don’t do it without establishing good faith first, and if I suspect someone’s just trolling… I just block them. Straight up. It’s easy, and I have one fewer irritants in my life.

      So, that’s me. Why do _you_do it? Are you intentionally trying to rile people up, and if so, why? Are you angry at them? Or do you say you’re offending people just by expressing sincerely held opinions, and the snowflakes are getting triggered? Is everyone but you a hypocrite?

      I mean, I believe everyone is a hypocrite, but there’s a spectrum, right? There’s a level where you are trying not to be a hypocrite, but it’s impossible to exist and not be at some level. Then there’s blatantly lying, saying one thing and doing another. A spectrum, and a lot of it boils down to good faith, and sincerity. Are you angry at faux liberals who you feel should be violently agitating for seizing the means of production, and are calling them out in their bullshit? Or just trying to make them angry so you can hurt them, just a little?

        I’m an Anarcho-Syndicalist, I offend ml and hexbear users sometimes just by pointing out that China is a fascist dictatorship. I offend world users by telling the truth some aren’t ready to hear. These truths include the simple facts that you cannot reform capitalism out of existence, liberal democracy is democracy for the capitalists, a bloodless revolution is not possible, and compromise with fascism only brings fascism. Sometimes I offend people by being unapologetically Queer, sometimes by being unapologetically Anarchist, but I have learned that apologizing for my beliefs is utterly nonsensical.

      If I’m ever wrong. I delete that comment and pretend it didn’t happen. Or if someone actually makes a good counter argument I just go “meh, don’t feel like replying” and leave them unread. I do the worst crime. I’ll be 10 replies in and I won’t even downvote their last comment to let them know I read it. I’m sure it’s infuriating.

      what’s hexbear

      source
      • Cryophilia@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Since there’s no serious answer: hexbear is a highly toxic instance that has been defederated by most other instances. However, their users will keep tabs on what’s said on other instances, and they’ll occasionally show up en masse with alt accounts to attack something that particularly enraged them.

        Many of them are…not quite mentally stable.

        They’re probably the single largest base of tankie support. For them, America = bad, and anyone opposed to America = good. They pretend to care about communism etc but they’re really just anti-American. Saying anything negative about China gets you instantly banned.
