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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I'm trying to stop caring about it. On reddit I have well over a million karma, and what have I got to show for it?
Here in the fediverse I hope to concentrate on quality interactions rather than quantity.
I never got the account karma thing. Do people really care? All i was fussed about was if a comment I made was interesting to others or not, but that's just fake stupid internet points+dopamine
I think people care a lot about the dopamine.
There are subs that require a certain amount of karma to post or to join. It's kind of gamefied at 100k, 200k, 300k etc.
