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

I think that Lemmy leans left because people on the right tend to be occupied with more productive activities in their life, such as work, family, or hobbies.

The left-leaning Lemmy tends to be people who haven't gotten out and touched grass in a while, mainly because it is composed of former redditors.

Nope. It’s because it was originally made to be a echo chamber for Communists. The devs are open communist

Right wing bots. That's a good one.

Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia

As long as these rules are in place and enforced arbitrarily by power tripping mods you'll only see the woke bubble. Alternate ideas are not allowed. Try talking about any of the taboo subjects and see how quickly the ban hammer falls.

kbin.social is just as bad as reddit ever was. I said that I personally don't want a transgender transition surgery and they banned me. These are not places where real discussion can happen.
