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

If Lemmy and Mastodon continues to get popular, we will eventually get Instance wars. (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

If the descentralization of social networks continue, we will have to prepare for the eventual rise of the instances wars, where people will start to fight about which instance is better and which one is weird to be in and so on, but that's for the future of us all.

Tbh I’m still confused on the differences and have literally zero attachment to the one I chose

It's mostly political and some about gatekeeping.

I have accounts on 3 instances.

BeeHaw, which I moved because they refused to allow people to make communities.

Lemmy.ml, which seems to always be down now, or throwing a ton of errors.

and now lemmy.world, but I don't see myself staying here because I know some instances already have defederated from .world (like beehaw) and I don't like that I am missing content from "major" instances.

I might just make my own instance so I can see all posts and don't have to worry about the instance being down for days/weeks.
