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.

"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.

I haven't really looked at anything else.

Except everyone here has the same awful ex to complain about

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

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

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.

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.

[–] WillyG@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

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.

Down vote and YOU move on, then.

[–] FellowEarthling@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

You're doing it right now!

I'm sure the same kind of bitchin' was going on reddit after digg exodus.

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

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