Showerthoughts

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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Lol my previous comment got deleted. Lemmy.world controlled by a reddit admin?

Edit: legit thought maybe it could be an error but my comment must have hit too close to the mark and was deleted! Lol

Why did that comment get deleted? It was an accurate take on the current state of Reddit. Completely agree you and not a good look for mods to be deleting comments on the day of the biggest influx of users on the platform.

So if a place gets crappy and defederated, do all its users need to go find a replacement for all the communities they sub to?

Sounds like mini-reddit exoduses tbh.

The amount of generational hate and is really ridiculous… I don't consider myself a kid with 21, but seriously, I'm happy if younger people join here and also embrace this space. And just acting as if everyone of a specific age would be the same is… oof

Im literally twice your age and just landed here. How do you feel about older generations showing up?
