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:
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.
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.
LMAO not that I disagree but it's funny
It's a form of therapy
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.)
I disagree. I'm not trying to fuck Lemmy.
If reddit was that important to whomever they should probably talk to someone about it.
I hope this can just be a hangout with the lads and lasses where we can bitch about anything, including our ex!
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.
Technically complaing about others talking about reddit. Is still talking about reddit with extra steps
And the ex is also the waiter.
I agree, let's move on. Lemmy is the future.
I enjoy the sarcasm though.
But thanks to reddit most of us are here, so it will take bit of time to forget it
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.
"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.
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.
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.
Except everyone here has the same awful ex to complain about
I'm new, what is fedverse? Is this fed verse? Is lemmy part of something else called fedverse?
I think we need a balance, which is slowly cropping up naturally.
Part of the Lemmy V Reddit war is what's causing Lemmy to grow soquickly.
I think we are in a transition phase right now, after some time this kind of "bitching about reddit / twitter whatever" trend will cool down.
