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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
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
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

No, I don't. When I call people Nazis and fascists it's because I know what both of those words mean, being literate.
Then you are missing the point because there are tons of people who disagree with you who aren't Nazis. OP is talking about how it's great how you can only talk with people you agree with.
You are replying to a comment thread that is about blocking Nazis, it's completely disingenuous to act like that's not a legit problem and that anyone is talking about anything other than actual fucking Nazis. They are real. No one said everyone they disagree with is a Nazi because that's fucking stupid.
No, OPs point was that they can block people they disagree, with the person above in this thread brought up Nazis when people pointed out how toxic that behaviour is in creating filter bubbles.
I.e. they brought up an extreme example at one end of the spectrum to make a point when we were discussing the spectrum more broadly
