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:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

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.

It's not the kids, not the lurkers, not the mods... y'all just nice people. Lemmy's got a good vibe going... or at least enough windows that we can close if the vibe gets shit.

It’s nice to be somewhere that isn’t full of bots and doesn’t coddle nazis

Depends on instance...

My last one wouldn't defederate from a shitshow instance full of transphobia, threats of violence, and basically anything else you'd see on 4chan.

Apparently all that was just a "difference of opinions" so my old instance said it was fine.

The problematic instance also had a lot of posts shitting on this one for defederating them, so I just signed up a new account here.

I think that's the best part of Lemmy, it's easy to just drop an instance and find another that aligns more with what you want out of it.

A decade from now if the biggest instance pulls a spez, everyone would just move to a new instance
