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

See, my worry was Mastadon's Fascist rep. Lemmy's left twist is no sweat of my back.

Does/did mastodon have a fascist reputation? I didn't know it had any reputation at all, aside from "Twitter but different" to be honest, lol

pretty sure mastodon is like 99% gay cat girls posting long-winded info dumps about niche tech stacks... i have no idea where that person is getting their info..

According to the truth social wiki, it is built using a heavily modified Mastadon backend. Which is how people conflate the 2

Only outside of Mastodon. People confuse decentralized, P2P and federated and think it's a free to all, which means fascism...

Ah yes, freedom, one of the major parts of fascism...

The big difference is that some networks just make good moderation and defending your eyes basically impossible. Not with the Fediverse, where it's designed to be the way you like as a person and as a community.
