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

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?
