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
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

MODERATORS
Huffman is just an empty suit. His purpose is to take the flak for all the unpopular changes that the money people want him to make.
He'll probably be gone within 2 years, get a nice payday, and never have to work again.
Focusing your ire on Huffman specifically plays right into Reddit's hands. And spamming "fuck u/spez" everywhere just makes those of us who oppose the direction that Reddit has taken look like petulant children to neutral observers.
He's the founder. He wants to cash out. He's doing anything to get there.
That's more than just an empty suit. Someone with a backbone would have gone a different direction
He's a founder who already cashed out years ago—before being brought back to give the money people a credible figurehead.
