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.

Imagine Lemmy becoming so popular it drives Reddit to support ActivityPub or go extinct (self.showerthoughts)

Reddit would become compatible with Lemmy essentially making it it's own "instance", and suddenly 3rd party apps work with Reddit again.

Full circle.

I think we'll all be better off if we can keep Reddit and Meta^✱^, and Corporate Information out of the garden.

How to kill decentralized networks.

This was a fantastic read. Thank you so much for sharing it! I’ve started my own lemmy instance in hopes of making an instance available for “everybody” in my region, having the local culture as our common ground. But this helped me realize that it might maybe need a thought or two before pushing forward. Those who I thought would be a part of it aren’t those who would maybe want to give up traditional service for one fighting for freedom, ethics and morals.
