I feel like Fediverse users are nicer to each other and more generous with upvotes than reddit.
(self.showerthoughts)
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
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.
I got a "who asked" amongst more productive banter this morning and I actually laughed and said "thank god, people can talk without a filter".
I'm okay with some stuff being toxic. Reddits moderation rules were so restricting that you couldn't have a genuine conversation or sometimes just post something that was clearly originally intended to be posted to a sub; moderation was too tight.
Freedom of speech shouldn't be inconvenienced by a fedora wearing subreddit mod. And if one Lemmy instance does, there's others you can enjoy!
Curses! Foiled again!
Yah, what this cunt says.
This is why I started to hate reddit, even before the big API fiasco. It's clear all that was making it to the front page was the same liberal-pandering bullshit.. I don't mind seeing a little shad thrown at one side or the other every now and then, but when it's every 5 posts and it's always just 1 sides opinion it's incredibly annoying! I was already looking for other sources of entertainment. I'm kinda glad I found Lemmy. It's been a really cool experience so far.
