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.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia

lemmy.world going hard against third parties over the past few days, what has spooked them?
The primaries are over. The risk of Trump is too high and people spreading 3rd Party ideas right now many be trying to demotivate progressives from voting for Harris. I mean, I'm not a big fan of Harris, but I'll still be voting for her over Trump.
It seems like Harris turning half Republican and supporting a genocide is what's demotivating progressives from voting for her and people spreading 3rd party ideas is a symptom of that.
How do you have a four year old account with only two comments?
Anyway, still better than Trump.
To answer your question, I joined Lemmy when it was a niche open source project then left because nothing was happening until the mass migration happened
Fyi, accounts that only make political comments, especially ones that have suspicious comment history come across as astroturf or hacked accounts.
