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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It's not the kids, not the lurkers, not the mods... y'all just nice people. Lemmy's got a good vibe going... or at least enough windows that we can close if the vibe gets shit.

There are instances that disable downvotes. https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances has a field saying if an instance has them enabled or not.

MORE reasons to enjoy the federated aspect. I am ALL for each instance having their own rules and protocol. I'm not a fan of removing the down voting but the fact that it is something that can be chosen by a group feels really good to me.
