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

Exactly, we're not defined by our relationship with Reddit.

Yeah, this was bound to happen. The Internet was designed to be decentralized and then we went ahead and made social network platforms that were so popular that hundreds of thousands of users conglomerated into a centralized server (or server cluster technically), completely defeating the purpose. It took time, but this is exactly how it's supposed to be.
