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.

You are a disingenuous liar.

Go to the hexbear news megathread and you will find criticism of China:

There are many Chinese hexbear users that discuss the flaws of their country, people that are banned are those that spread misinformation.

Of course the United States = bad there is no modern equivalent to the outsourcing of death, despair, and destruction the great satan exports.

lemmy.world "preemptively defederated as a last resort" you can find their reasoning here: https://lemmy.world/post/2498330 sounds like lemmy.world wants an echo-chamber yet despite whinging about "brigades" there has never been any actual proof that brigades are organized.

hexbear defederated FROM sh.itjust.works, lemmy.ca, lemmy.blahaj.zone, programming.dev, lemmy.nz, aussie.zone because those instances were NOT moderating to the standard that hexbear places on cultivating a space for marginilzied people.

Who are you to judge the mental stability of people when you constantly project your insecurities on to those seeking a better future.
