Some speculate that there is no southern pole star, like polaris in the north; and all stars rotate clockwise around polaris (including in the southern “hemisphere”)
Some speculate that the two ostensible rotations in the sky exist as we see them, and the view that they must be caused by a spherical rotating earth is merely mythology.
Some speculate that the motions are influenced/distorted by the firmament (aka dome) that covers the world.
In general, i think it is unscientific and silly to look the literal opposite direction of the earth to determine its shape. IF the earth is flat, then all motions of the lights in the sky are obviously the same as we see them now!
You might want to ask questions like this over on flatearthresearch as well if you are looking for more answers.
There are a few ideas i’ve encountered about it :

Well, what's the use in speculation? Record observations, form a hypothesis, and then test it.
You know, science stuff.
No, Flat Earthers never do that.
Do dat. Then stare into the abyss that is your soul.
