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
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

MODERATORS
Nope. I was banned for mentioning conservative political opinions.
Sorry bud, how about you start a thread and get some community feedback? Maybe your opinion is problematic or maybe the mods made a mistake.
Idk I'm not psychic
Banned. You can’t start threads when you’re banned.
I tried asking questions about why exactly they were banning me and they wouldn’t discuss it. Communicating with me is “feeding the troll” in their mind.
It all happened in a big wave, within the last six months of my having a reddit account, and none of them would discuss it. Believe me I tried. I made appeals, I asked for explanation, it was never given. Questions like “which rule did I break? Which comment was it?” would be answered with “You have been blocked from communicating with the mods of /r/whatever”. They just hung up the phone. I was all ears because these were communities I was part of for over a decade in some cases, and they would not communicate at all.
Banning someone without explanation is a step further down the same path that contains downvoting someone’s answer to your question, without responding.
