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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
I don't agree with the rest of your post particularly, but this is the central theme. People will fuck anything up and run it into the ground by virtue of being people, and groups of people fuck things up faster.
Fediverse is no silver bullet; nothing is. The monkey that touches the technology and tools is the source of their misuse, and the monkey never changes, although the tool does.
Not a silver bullet. But basic conditions for the right things to happen. Just as anarchism isn't a silver bullet. But its the right conditions for people to actually choose for themselves. And make the right choices society would otherwise deny. There are no silver bullets. Those have always been fictional tropes. And never my intention to imply otherwise.
sure. One can always make a better tool.
