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
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Please no, I didn't quit reddit to have reddit around me again.
We are the corp. You will be assimilated. Your meta and meme distinctiveness will be added to our own. Lower your mods and surrender your communities. Resistance is futile. - Reddit, probably
I mean, if they were to adopt ActivityPub and enable federation, you can pretty much guarantee they'd slap ads next to content pulled in from FOSS instances. Kinda their thing.
So who will be Locutus in that scenario
Not spez because spez is willingly fucking up reddit
Spez could be counted as a borg queen
My comment also got me into deep thought about how humanity is like a borg collective but we don't realise it
With the controlling rich being the equivalent of a borg queen and capitalism being the control
Reddit federating would provide us with a much better API for 3rd partys. It would be the walk back of the century.
