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.

Imagine Lemmy becoming so popular it drives Reddit to support ActivityPub or go extinct (self.showerthoughts)

Reddit would become compatible with Lemmy essentially making it it's own "instance", and suddenly 3rd party apps work with Reddit again.

Full circle.

For me, it felt really easy to leave because I had zero social connections on Reddit. I'm not sure if I'm the weird one, but I never learned any individual users' names or felt ways about stuff, except in the rare case that they became a meme, like shittymorph. I was there for like 12 years and nothing tied me to it. Moving to the threadiverse was as easy as changing a bookmark.

That was also my experience on Reddit. Subreddits would sometimes have a culture in terms of the types of posts and comments that get upvotes, but I was never really aware of specific individuals.

I’ll certainly miss u/shittymorph.
