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.

MODERATORS
 

I love that comment sections here are like, y’know, discussions and stuff. Not just the same jokes and parroted phrases over and over and over.

It’s because the majority isn’t here yet. You would have the same quality in smaller subreddits, as long as they are somewhat moderated.

Just wait a few months and you’ll see the idiots returning with their cheap comments.

But the Fediverse will be different. For example, instead of having one giant Politics community, we have two: politics@lemmy.world and politics@lemmy.ml, each with its own moderation style that has to respect the rules of its instance.

I think that's a lot healthier than having one giant Politics subreddit where it's hard to get involved because of the size and the immaturity of the people.

Were you not here for the bit about the beans?

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

That was a shitpost frenzy, I didn’t see much of that in comment sections!

I thought it was pretty stupid; I wonder if people are going to look back on it in a “narwhal bacon” type’a way.

While I, too, appreciate this, I honestly have no idea how to link to another Lemmy instance (or whatever we call them).

[–] kvothe99@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I think its supposed to be: !community@instance
