Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
To be clear, some really great community members have these names, but they're everywhere now. And with the right characters you can create some really annoying overlaps: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3790
Enough of them floating around now that I'll probably do a PR for my favorite client to filter them out.
Edit: why is it huge? can someone tell me how to post that smaller? i uploaded a 229 pixel tall gif.
Edit 2: The irony of accidentally posting something that can render obnoxiously large on this thread in particular is not lost on me.
Probably because it's a webm, not a gif.
Right, I uploaded a gif to lemmy. That wasn't the question.
Is there a way to specify the geometry that is meant to be displayed?
Edit: Is a downvote taken to mean "I don't know"? Since they're anonymous, why bother? I know this isn't a support thread, but am I missing something? Was the "help" that it is a webm helpful? Are those inherently non-resizable? Why is it upscaling my ~200 px gif to what I am seeing? If this is a hard question, I can move to a support thread, but I was hoping someone knew off the dome.
