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 commented on reddit a lot but I do feel the need to be more involved here because I want to help build up the community. That said, I do want to be more careful about how I use my account. Avoid getting into discourse when I can, try not to argue with people as much.

I feel like I can be healthier on Lemmy if I go into it with a different mindset, and without Reddit's dogshit algorithm, it might make it easier.
