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
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    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've noticed that lemmy as a whole is much more leftist than reddit (outside of political servers of course) (self.showerthoughts)

I can't really think of a reason for that as Reddit is hated somewhat equally by "both" sides of the spectrum. It's just something I find interesting.

The great thing about instanses though is that I can create an account on an instance that isn't deffederated to get around that. On reddit, there's no way to do that from one app.

The problem is with what we each consider nazis or fascists. I don't believe most conservatives are fascists or nazis, but a lot of people do believe that (which is an extremest take in of itself). For example, if you believe people who want more secure borders are nazis or fascists, we 100% disagree on what makes someone so.
