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.

i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.

Tbh, my upvote policy didn't really change when I moved to Lemmy.

Something has to be dangerously bad for me to downvote it.

I upvote anything that seems interesting or agreeable to me.

Same here. If I don't like it, I simply won't upvote. If it's overtly and obviously offensive, I will downvote (happened maybe 4-7 times on Lemmy thus far).

dangerously bad

Like what? A disagreement?

Insulting, hateful, dangerous advice

Another already commented.

But the general rule of thumb I use is that if it could literally get someone seriously injured or killed, I downvote.

According to your comment history you're okay with it as long as it's those "libtards" being maimed or killed.
