And if it is a group mind, like a Social Media Community, then it is a thousand people arguing all the time (not so much packed into the girl like a clowncar as livestreaming her senses and flesh from hell or whatever). Smart, dumb, strong and weak as communities tend to be. And utterly dependent upon language to operate, which explains that. And what you are speaking to is just a gestalt. Maybe the end product of a messy political process.

I feel like I'm going insane trying to understand this

Watch "The Exorcist 1973". It's pretty much what I'm referring to.

Showerthoughts

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:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.
