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

All posts must be showerthoughts
The entire showerthought must be in the title
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.
Posts must be original/unique

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 feel like Fediverse users are nicer to each other and more generous with upvotes than reddit. (self.showerthoughts)

i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.

Don't forget mods hiding your posts without a trace! There is no way from the reddit interface to tell.

Lost the link, but there's a site that shows all the posts you made that were hidden from the rest of the sub. LOL, they even let the guy do an AMA!

I was more than a little stunned. Dozens of posts, just gone, very recently, and I had no idea. Nothing controversial, nothing crazy, and for sure nothing right-wing that might have triggered any liberal mods. I'm certain someone was following me around, reporting everything they might get traction on, hiding my posts. All very disconcerting.

Just posted about being banned for "inciting violence" for the 3rd time in 2-months. And I'm now a lunatic after 11-years without issue? Not like I can see what I was banned for, or even appeal.

I'm out. How are you folks?
