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 like these federated services being kinda "rough around the edges" (programming.dev)

In part because it reminds me a bit of the old internet, with stuff being spread around everywhere.

Being "harder"* to understand than reddit, twitter or other big companies' services is also a good thing, because people should remember that they have a brain and they should use it.

"harder" because not everyone understands the fediverse right away, since usability is extremely similar

I'm sad to hear you did not feel like a good explanation of the fediverse was given. Is there something you'd still want to know? I'm no expert but I've been here for a while, so I might be able to help or at least guide you!
