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.

MODERATORS
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.
