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

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.

I agree. Haven’t seen any trolls at all.

I remember when people made the effort to be nice on Reddit as well. Opinions were valued and courtesy was extended with a benefit of the doubt, before it turned into a "not up for discussion" shithole. It was like watching someone get wealthy with their fuck you money, and then the community went to shit as mods got tired of trolls, opinions were no longer valued, and the echo chamber effect became amplified.
