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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I'm tired about reading about reddit here.

We left. Let's move on.

I agree except when it's a matter of malicious compliance on reddit. Fucking up their site with NSFW content and shit posts.

I think those subs still fighting reddit can raise awareness to how shitty reddit had become and convince more people to leave.

People leaving reddit might land them on the fediverse and thus create more content for me to see on here.

It's annoying to see all these posts about reddit. But it's temporary. I'll allow it Señor Chang gif.

I know r/scams are getting it from admin for refusing to unmake NSFW.

Most of them are going to leave because they refuse to change it.

The amount of nasty comments from members of the sub towards the mods is awful. So a lot of folks on Reddit still aren't really getting it.

I disagree. I'm not trying to fuck Lemmy.

I hope this can just be a hangout with the lads and lasses where we can bitch about anything, including our ex!

Thank you. Forget Reddit. I mean, like it's so hard to move on. She was so great for so long. We have so many... memories. Not all good, but it's so hard to be alone. This new girl is nice, but she's not the same.

Sure, Reddit got pissed while I was out with my friends and trashed my apartment. It was clear by then that our relationship was so messed up, but I wanted to salvage things and rushed home, only to be cornered by Reddit. Reddit was threatening me with a knife and had broken almost everything in the apartment. My friends came to help me and while one tried to subdue Reddit, she bit him and I escaped.

I moved out and deleted my account.

Sure, weeks later, I got drunk and browsed Reddit a few times after all that. When I wasn't drinking, she tracked/stalked me and sent unsolicited nudes. Nice.

I found a much better girl to hang out with. Sure she federates with everyone, but she federates with me much more. Very cool.

I'm new, what is fedverse? Is this fed verse? Is lemmy part of something else called fedverse?

People on Mastodon are complaining about people talking about twitter, and posting their complaints to the hashtag #twitter which is very odd, as they could filter it.

I expect there will be filters on Lemmy eventually.

[–] Eh_I@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

And the ex is also the waiter.

[–] Noahv@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I enjoy the sarcasm though.

[–] SparKo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

But thanks to reddit most of us are here, so it will take bit of time to forget it

[–] Infinity187@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

If reddit was that important to whomever they should probably talk to someone about it.

[–] MavTheHack@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Technically complaing about others talking about reddit. Is still talking about reddit with extra steps

[–] z3k3lon@lemmy.pt 3 points 1 year ago

I agree, let's move on. Lemmy is the future.

[–] RemembertheApollo@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I dunno… at this point it’s like hearing stories about your crazy ex and kinda enjoying at what a dumpster fire s/he has become.

More like fleeing a totalitarian regime and talking with your fellow compatriots about how much oppression you've endured. (A bit exaggerated, but you get the point.)

[–] vegskipx@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

It's a form of therapy

LMAO not that I disagree but it's funny

[–] emu@feddit.ch 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Except everyone here has the same awful ex to complain about

[–] Purpureo@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Fucking hell I couldn't agree more with this post. So many people on here sound like they want to have won the breakup. Lemmy shouldn't just be "the place that's better than reddit", that's not much of an identity. I'm not interested in this place just being the Canada to Reddit's USA.

"To bitch about it?" Yes, I'm not a fan of the echo chamber of people's feelings toward Reddit; but it's still a situation that's going on, so I'd like updates and conversation surround that.

Absolutely! Having this great thing in front of you, more lovable and genuine than what you had before, but you do keep on blabbering about the ex who went out for cheap cocktails and a 5-sec-back-alley-hump without lubricants with Steve.
