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. 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

Underrated benefit of lemmy is like minded people will tend to join the same instances and if I don't want to interact with those groups I can just filter the whole instance. (lemm.ee)

A lot less annoying then endlessly filtering content by community and user

Almost everyone is on Lemmy.world, so.... I don't know. Don't think they made a choice. People who are not on Lemmy.world made a choice at least.

Not sure if a third is everyone

Should I be concerned about being on lemm.ee?

No, anyone gatekeeping Lemmy users who aren't on the largest instances are fundamentally working against how the fediverse is supposed to work. lemm.ee is smaller, and generally politically neutral, but it also seems to properly moderate hate speech, violence, harassment, and illegal content. As long as that persists, all should be good.

If it ever comes to a "be on .world or you're sus", then .world can just disable federation and become Reddit 2 while the rest of Lemmy embraces decentralization.
