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.

It's back for me. By the way, I've seen the criticism of lemmy.ml - the post that was criticising them had examples of 'censorship'. The censored posts were imo:

the actual posts in question were low information, misleading and in many cases also denying reality. One guy denied we’re in a (soft) cold war even. I think the mods there need to be clearer about the rules though, and criticism of any country’s actions should be allowed. They left the post up too btw.

And I’m actually okay with discussions about geopolitics being controlled. Those tend to bring out the worst wierdos from the old place.
