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

It’s made by Communists
As a leftist myself (not a communist), I've found that the biggest difference for now is that I'm not seeing censorship against anyone politically right of Bernie Sandars, (other than downvotes). I don't care if Lemmy leans left and/or commie, but I hate it when someone behind the scenes decides whether or not I should be able to debate/talk to my political opposites. The reddit censorship was super frustrating, especially when the goalposts of what's offensive keeps moving.
There has been some. It was a huge scandal for one day at the beginning of this lemmy hype.
Yeah, I think the behaw one deffederated lemmy.ml, which I signed up under. I just made an account under a different instance to see their stuff.
