Perhaps it should be named “unconventional opinions that I still agree with”? Or perhaps “lol lets see what opinion they post now” (to be fair, the WHY ARE YOU BOOING ME? I’M RIGHT is sort of this)?
People are just upvoting and downvoting what they agree and disagree with, so it basically comes off as a trap to get things to laugh at - which it isn’t even good at. Should people not be voting on “yes, this is something that is genuinely unpopular”?
Can a comm’s name be changed? If we labeled it as something like ‘popular misinformation’ then people could post their unpopular positions by posting the popular position as title and then their reason for disagreeing in the body.
Title: Cheesecake is the best
Body: is misinformation because blah, blah, blah.
People who aren’t paying attention will just upvote because they agree, showing it is a popular view, and those who pay attention to what the comm is will be able to follow the traditional voting rules for the position expressed in the body. It would align the voting schema to work together rather than in opposition.
Maybe but disinformation is the wrong word
I didn’t use the word disinformation.
Sorry typo, but misinformation is wrong too lol
It’s about as close as you can get. I don’t think there’s a specific word for wrong opinions.
