Yeah thats true, but there are things that lemmy fights over. AI for example, theres a few AI enjoyers here. Linux v the world.
Its to be expected that the people who share this space are a little bit likeminded.

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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

2y ago (during the reddit app lockdown) there was a lot of groundswell for joining other communities. Quite a few people made how-to videos showing the process. Although I bet they're a little outdated now...
I would bet money on the average person not even being able to create a Lemmy account without assistance.
I would, too. Because I've literally seen Reddit users complain that it's too hard when it's just as easy as signing up for Reddit outside of a few instances that make you jump through hoops to sign up.
How dare you call me literate my accent is actively fucking me over with swapping As and Os. Also I am tech literate for old broken shit, I actively hate my phone because I can barely use it. Mostly because it spits me at every instance fuck you machine spirit! I don't want you to give me the news you are an over glorified MP3 player half the time!
