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: 1

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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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.

Good discussions happen in the meme subs which is kinda ironic.

But anything of high traffic will attract bad faith actors for "modding"

Fedi itself is pretty resilient since it is decentralized, so at worst it is a sub ban or instance ban on ml for disrespectimg she-pooh

Also there other reasons why mods could make their discussions clearly but there is definitely pattern of behavior.

I've noticed that too. It's like a forest fire (high popularity, enshittification?) went through there and now healthy stuff grows. Probably a cyclic thing.

What we need is truly niche subs. Which by definition must be hard to access.
