There’s no effort here. If he said “Lemmy is more woke than reddit and here’s why” and gave detailed, fact-based responses then sure, we’ll have a listen. But to just pop in and say something is ‘woke’ with no exposition, no reasoning, and zero effort, yeah, it’s going to be downvoted.
The whole idea of the unpopular opinion sub has been a paradox since it was created years ago. Most users vote with kneejerk reaction so actually unpopular things get down voted and popular things get upvoted just as they do anywhere else. It wasn’t really different over on the other aggregate site.
This isn’t reddit, there is no rule saying you have to up vote it if you disagree. It’s just a space you can put an opinion that you think is unpopular, and no one cares about votes anyways.
I don’t get this sub, it’s called unpopular opinion, but when one is posted it gets downvoted?
Shouldn’t this sub be called something else then?

I often downvote on post quality. This post has “no body needed”, which leads to crap content. Tell us why, or it is just noise.
When I see a stupid title I often don’t even look at the sub its in before voting.
Context matters.
