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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

All political views should end with the word boy in a southern voice. (discuss.tchncs.de)

This would be a quick way to see of it's racist, close minded, or just straight bs.

Ex1- You want women to kill babies, boy!

Ex2- You want to feed the homeless, boy!

They need a "follow accounts" button here. Like if a reporter used

Thank you!

And: dude! I have totally thought the same thing! It's so weird that Mastodon has follow-accounts, but no communities; Lemmy has join-communities but no follow-accounts; and they're both ActivityPub. You'd think that would be a no-brainer feature, right?

Maybe someone will cook it up. Wish I had the know how to do it.

Yeah, it'd have to be a Lemmy design change, and then all of the many clients would have to implement it... momentum is a powerful force in the software world, and difficult and dangerous to overcome. Look at the fiasco of Python 3; that was a cock-up of epic proportions. Lemmy's got enough users and clients now that changes have to be made extremely carefully.
