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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Nope. It’s because it was originally made to be a echo chamber for Communists. The devs are open communist
How do you reckon the design influences this? What do you think supposedly enabled that?
What specifically makes it a platform designed to be an echo chamber?
It was originally made because they couldn’t say some stuff on r/communism

This then later became lemmygrad. Lemmygrad is a echo chamber. That’s what I mean with that it was originally designed to be a echo chamber.
Then good thing when they developed the platform they didn't make it a legal requirement for you to make an account and browse only Lemmygrad.
