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. 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.

Getting fired from that place was the ~sob~ best thing that ever happened to me.

I'd like to complain about people who hold things up by complaining about people complaining. It's about time something was done about it!

Making exact copies of subreddits, then being surprised people can't shut up about Reddit. ~~Reddit~~ Lemmy Moment.

Or it could be like bitching about an ex to your therapist. Sometimes you need to get stuff off your chest. The good news is you don't need to read it.

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.

Why not just ignored those posts then? There are plenty of other posts to read.

Down vote and YOU move on, then.

I haven't really looked at anything else.

Expect in the case of these two websites, I kinda WANT to hear people bitch about their ex.

I think that by being part of the change, we will be able to really make a big difference. RIP Apollo

I had literally the exact same thought the other day. Pretty much every single thread on my front page was bitching about reddit in some way shape or form. Ugh

Are we just making up terms now? WTF is the "fediverse"?!

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.
