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.

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.

Perhaps for lemmy, the Orca Toasts at Noon.

But yeah, lemmy actually feels like a community. I haven't seen too much of a "thread consensus" effect, where any differing views get buried with downvotes for not agreeing. The only mass downvoted comments I've seen so far were blatant racism/sexism/homophobia/other noncivil comments, and LITERAL shitposts.

TLDR: Lemmy circlejerks way less, but allows uncensored gifs of people pooping in comments
