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

at least the blocking system doesn't silence you here. you can still say whatever you want in any thread you want.
That is quite nice. And how Reddit used to behave before they got stupid.
However one thing I’ve learned is that when someone deletes their post it doesn’t put a “deleted” placeholder in, it completely removes it. So then if someone goes through your comment history they just see you saying something apropos of nothing, which can be missing important context.
I’m thinking about saying goodbye to this site. It’s not been a good few days mentally for me, and my usual retreat (the internet) has just made it worse. I miss the glory days before Reddit became shit.
