A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I didn't see any specific "propaganda bots", just bots regurgitating anything that was posted
Because they are meant to seem like you're talking to a human. Bot/troll farms are a thing.
No, bots aren't a thing alhough a lot of people pretend them to be. Trolls are still either human or very obviously fake.
WELL SAID, FELLOW HUMAN.
