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

so the owners and mods of instances will have to compete to provide a good experience. I don’t see a problem with this
Who does that select for though.
Those with the most time? The most money? The most aggressive approach?
Competition doesn't tend to produce holistic quality; only efficiency.
Yeah, I don't think instances being competitive with each other would be good for the culture. It'll just produce isolationism, elitism & hostility.
