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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

A lot of people say fedditors but that sounds way too derivative of reddit

I know "lemmings" is catching on but what if we go for "federalists" because it sounds cool?

I get what you are going for, and it sounds kinda cool but nahh. Federalist sounds too political lol. Lemmings sounds soft and cool imho

But it would make the Lemmy Civil War so much cooler! Think about it.

"After BeeHaw defederated, several federalists from the Lemmy World Federation, Lemmy ML Federation, and more, have conducted raids on the BeeHawvists."

Sounds like an Episode I side plot.

Federalist society is a right wing thing, would be funny if it could be taken though

Federators. Mount up!

I agree with federalist for the overall movement, but not Lemmy in particular. Federalist is a word that means that exact thing, so it works, but it's typically for nations/states.
