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

Or you can just block/ignore the stuff you don't like. No need to force your preferences on everyone else.
You cannot block and filter enough to escape from politics or anime on Lemmy.
I have to specifically follow anime stuff to see anime stuff on Lemmy, what are you on?
Just on the Everything feed with a bunch of filters & blocks, and a specific block for the word βanimeβ. I still end up blocking individual anime communities on a regular basis. That has been happening for over a year now, so there are a lot of them. Iβm surprised you never see it. What are you on?
Subscribing to communities and browsing Subscribed by default, so that would explain something.
Ah, my subscribed communities get like one new post per month. So, I'd just not be on Lemmy if I was limited to my subscriptions.
Could we perhaps swap accounts? On my feed there's NEVER anime related stuff, and as a fan of them this kinda sucks
Yes please!
On lemmy? Cmon fam. There's barely any anime down here
I never see anime stuff, and i don't mind anime so it's not like I've blocked a bunch of places that have it
Hmmm everything is political?
No. Everything is anime.
Except that people find a way to insert politics into almost every thread. You'd have to block three quarters of the site and about half the users lol
You know, it's almost like politics affects everything. Strange thing that.
I don't want to debate politics everytime myself, but the fact stays that at the end of the day, everything is political
Wait, it's all politics?

Always has been
Exactly. That's the whole point of link sharing sites, you can curate it to just show the things you're interested in. Simply blocking like 5 politics-related communities will almost entirely wipe political content from your view.
Not forcing your beliefs on everyone else? Well that's certainly unAmerican of you! I'm not voting for the person YOU clearly support!
