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

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.

I think it’s early tech adopters are just excited about something nice and will play nice to try to hero it grow. I remember the early internet being a really nice place.

It’ll get ruined soon enough.

Instances can get ruined, sure, but the decentralized nature means ruination has to focus on the Fediverse. It remains to be seen how it will get ruined. Like the Reddit honeymoon after Digg's collapse, we get to watch this be the hero until it becomes the villain.
