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

Can we say we "made it" when megacorps start making their own instances and communities?
I think we'll have "made it" when You Tubers devote videos to reading Lemmy posts.
I don't think they'll use the actual Lemmy software. They'll probably make their own thing using the ActivityPub protocol.
And we'll start seeing "to view the whole post, register at Jojo Corp and get 25% of your first purchase!"
Based 😁❤️
Oh, crap. I just thought of something. What if they try bribing instance owners to stay federated with them?
