Actual unpopular (but not extremist) opinions.

This is why I can never get into microblogging/Twitter-type platforms. Character limits and one-click reposting mean that what little discourse you get is shallow, and ragebait is consistently pushed to the top.

I’m not going to say that Lemmy or (especially) Reddit completely avoid this, but you generally get much more insightful conversation and can opt-in to political communities.

There was a thread on !asklemmy@lemmy.ml recently asking people for their unpopular political opinions, and it actually wasn’t a total shitshow!

I just archived all my Instagram posts and changed my bio to say I was done with the platform, “you can reach me through my website” and so on. Fuck that noise.

I don’t think a hobbyist-hosted instance would count as a social media company.

Also, what’s Louisiana gonna do if the instance is outside their state? Send them strongly-worded emails?
