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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I can't really think of a reason for that as Reddit is hated somewhat equally by "both" sides of the spectrum. It's just something I find interesting.

All the right wingers went to Gab, Parler, Voat, Poal, Truth Social and other places.

Nazi servers, including but not limited to freeinternetspeechextremist and some holes like those.

Gab is a lemmy instance. Voat shut down, lack of funding.

Voat still exists, last I heard. I think it's hosted on a different domain.

Gab added support for ActivityPub then were collectively defederated by the rest of Mastodon.
