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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Underrated benefit of lemmy is like minded people will tend to join the same instances and if I don't want to interact with those groups I can just filter the whole instance. (lemm.ee)

A lot less annoying then endlessly filtering content by community and user

Yes, most people will want to do this at a minimum with Lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml (actually most instances already have defederated with the second, but it doesn't hurt).

What's wrong with lemmy.ml? It's a pretty generalist instance if you ask me. The only issue I have with it is that it doesn't block obvious troll instances like lemmygrad or the one that's even worse by default but you can do that yourself these days.

It's full of tankies. Many of the mods of major subs such as politics or world news are tankies and will block anything remotely critical of Russia or China and censor anyone who says, for instance, that Ukraine has the right to take the fight to Russia. It's definitely more covert than lemmygrad is, but after about 6 months there, it became abundantly clear to me that nothing good was coming out of that place.

I find Lemmy in general tends to lean quite authoritarian autocracy-ish; that feels more like a reflection of the general user base.

I don't like that in the slightest to be clear but I do think it's true.

I don't feel that that's true if you remove the .ml's.

Lemmyml has a lot of tankies and other weird characters

Also they have a mod/admin problem. (Don't you dare question the tankie rhetoric)
