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 don't mind reading about reddit on the reddit community, but the fact people can't shut up in non related communities annoys me to no end, the circlejerking is insane.

It's like, people go to asklemmy and ask "don't you feel this is so MUCH better than reddit, people are way nicer and have higher IQ", like dude come on.

Also another one is people bashing reddit for no reason, like a post that said that reddit doesn't respect free speech and showed a threat lf deleted comments with no context, as if that was a bad act in itself some people talk about moderation as if it was a bad thing done over in the bad reddit

don’t you feel this is so MUCH better than reddit, people are way nicer and have higher IQ

I feel like I bought a Prius 🫤

[–] juansero29@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I need some time to bitch and moan about that toxic relationship OK?

Nah, really, I agree witcha...

[–] metanomaly@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Yup. I can’t wait till one of these Lemmy apps adds a keyword filter. Look at how defensive these replies are lol I haven’t this much “Well actually” since …well you know. I think you struck a nerve, OP!

[–] stackPeek@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

NGL, this made me miss one Boost for Reddit feature: filter based on keyword

[–] ilickfrogs@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yuuuup, as soon as boost for Lemmy drops I'll be filtering the word reddit immediately.

[–] Arotrios@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

if you want to stop reading about it use the block button liberally. I would recommend blocking mags like RedditMigration. That will relieve you of about 95% of the discussion...

[–] NeroAngra@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Just ignore the posts then? I don't see what the big deal is. If anything it makes this community stronger having a collective discontent for our previous beloved.

I dont know if i should follow your advice and keep scrolling or come here and complain about reddit and idk its fun to complain about reddit

okay so if you make the mistake of going on reddit rn (i was trobleshooting a specific issue get off my back) its like a school at night all the lights are off except for some and they're blinding bright if you make the even WORSE mistake of going on r/all its like a noticable shift has happened and also where it used to be significant bots, now its VERY many botposts. its fun if you like chatting with bots!

[–] Infinity187@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] gapbetweenus@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

Pretty much what I would expect from a redditor on a date.

[–] stevedidWHAT@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So it’s okay for you to bitch and moan about stuff you don’t like, but others aren’t allowed to be upset about Reddit?

I think you may have been letting your frustrations guide your words. End of the day, we all (including you) are allowed to express your frustrations on anything, but you being frustrated with their frustration is only going to spiral out of control. Try something else like going to those threads explicitly and derailing the conversation towards something more positive and constructive.

Thank you for doing this

[–] Licensed_to_ill@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

But we can't cuddle and/or watch Netflix with Lemmy.

[–] 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.

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

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

Well you are not wrong!

[–] 001100010010@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Foam3477@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Give it time the conplaining will fade. The same happened with digg
