The Onion should pivot to actual news, since traditional media has embraced lies and absurdity.

I don’t recall exactly but this is the gist that I remember from a /r/subredditdrama post I read over a year ago

“Real news” sub reddits let porn, nsfw content, onlyfans and whatnot on them because they were not actively or thoroughly moderated. Some users were upset,To emphasize their point started posting nsfw anime pictures.

Someone decided they had enough and broke off into their own sub reddit that has actual news and it was called /r/animetitties or something.

ah okay thanks for explaining. sounds like it might have also been similar to the r/trees and r/marijuanaenthusiasts thing.

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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct
