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. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Every time I see something that looks like Chinese/Russian/anti-Western propaganda I check the profile and it's usually a user that's been here for years. I'm starting to think the Fediverse was born as a misinformation shithole, here's hoping the new users can get that content to fuck off into it's own little defederated corner of trolls, bots, and edgelords.
It really did start as an underground commie circlejerk, luckily it's gotten a lot better with lemmygrad and lemmy.ml dead in the water.
Honestly? Yes. I don't think I share any of the far leftist ideas the Lemmy devs seem to have but you gotta recognize their worth.
Yes, they built this place for freedom of speech. Despite the devs being communists you could easily spin up your own instance and gather there fascists or anarchists or whoever you feel like. Hell it's all open source, you can even fork it an add any feature you like. The software might not be too robust, but this platform really is great and we should recognize it for what it is.
I'm sorry am I reading this right? Are you saying that communism is a right wing ideology?
