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

are we just ceding

it was a noble effort, but that battle is lost. at this point you're just making yourself a target. not that social medias won't relinquish your data to the gestapo the instant it's demanded. which they probably did years ago

Yep, everything outing yourself as LGBTQ+ or an ally, or liberal/progressive/democrat will turn into your lynching material. Time to delete everything and be prepared for The Handmaiden’s Tale to kick up real quick.
