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

What if I told you reddits antiwork was basically a glimpse of everything we're seeing on far left Lemmy. Lemmy just doesn't have a honeymoon stage for it.
antiwork was one of the last leftist places to ban me. They held out for a long time … until I thanked them for it one day at which point they immediately banned me.
I literally wrote a comment like “You guys are always willing to talk despite our disagreements and I’m thankful for that” and I got banned within hours.
I should write a survival guide to Linux. Its okay to have a differing opinion man. My advice is just don't go seeking out the hornets nest and know when to read the room. I saw some garbage earlier today that was borderline racist ironically from a left POV and I just left it alone.
Gotta know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em. The beauty of the fediverse is that everyone gets a total democracy in bans, where they'll sign up, etc and its a two way street.
