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 It’s because it was originally made to be a echo chamber for Communists.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
They developed the software, they don't run all of lemmy. They run one singular instance.
It's open source, if you actually think this software pushes left echo chamber, you're a smooth brain.
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It was originally made because they couldn’t say some stuff on r/communism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.
