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 feel like I'm spending less time on social media after switching to Lemmy (self.showerthoughts)

Maybe it's just because there's less content on Lemmy as of right now, but I remember doomscrolling Reddit, but now I only briefly open Lemmy once or twice a day.

Could this be an example of the affects of addictive social media?

I'm the same too, was whipping out reddit on the phone at any chance, or browsing while doing something in discrod with mates. Now it's Voyager for a quick blast (honestly, I kinda hate the feeds, I don't have a comfy one yet, understand they're reworking it soon-ish) and for a good read, I'm back on friggin...SomethingAwful and reading some legendary threads from past and present, it's like a magical book of schadenfreude. Way better than mindless nothing on Reddit [Apollo].

Thanks Spez!
