They use to tell us we couldnt trust Wikipedia. Now we know. Wikipedia is the only website you can trust.
(self.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. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
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.
Any argument based on "us vs them" is flawed by default.
Yeah, like, who are "they"?
Nazis, terrorists and/or communists. In abstract, no definition or distinction. Just don't think about it too much.
"They" will fit one of these. But for sure, trust "us", because we're definitely not either of these.
I don't know many communist per se (mostly other flavor of leftists/marxists) but most of the folks around me hold wikipedia in high regards.
I definitely do. Wikipedia is amazing.
But. Unfortunately, everything is political: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-security-wikipedia-idUSN1642896020070816
My point wasn't even judging Wikipedia. I just think "us vs them" is a horrible framework for reasoning.
How is OP using that reasoning though I don't get it. Just by using the word 'They'?
It sparked from me wondering who's this "they" OP was referencing to. Pretty much impossible to pinpoint.
And then, I associated that with "us vs them" rhetoric lines. I didn't even accuse OP of anything.
I just wrote what that shower though made me think about. Maybe it was just another shower thought.
oh ok
Its showers all the way down man
It's a fucking shower thought you bitches
You got 1000 upvotes. At that scale everything is a political statement. 🎉
Brah, I was just happy that Wikipedia hasn't joined the enshitification train.
I agree wholeheartedly. :)
My commentary was an observation about "us vs them" way of reasoning, only.
I'm happy for your lemmy karma success!
