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

yeah, that's kinda like email. there are multiple email providers (gmail, etc), and you can send emails to anyone even if they don't use the same provider
Email is the original fediverse, or maybe email-lists are.
So is it a protocol? Or a peer to peer app? The more I learn about the more my geek brain wants to dig in.
I'm sure in two months I'll be hosting my own instance and finally assuming my role as a minor internet dictator.
