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.

Amen! It's a little slow but I'm perfectly fine with that! Everyone here is vibing for sure!

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.

I agree, it feels like something good is starting to rev up.

That's just the Fediverse. It's magical mostly because everyone in it is just committed to being so awesome. <3

It really is nice here. I love the break from the constant shitposting that is on reddit.

I love it. All I want is an app

Android: Liftoff, Connect, Summit, Jerboa. (In this order for me.

PWA: wefwef.app

Edit: the android ones are all on Play Store.

i’ve been using memmy on ios

you have to use it through testflight and it’s still a bit buggy but otherwise feels like a slightly less polished and less customisable version of Apollo, which is already high praise.

I agree. Haven’t seen any trolls at all.

I remember when people made the effort to be nice on Reddit as well. Opinions were valued and courtesy was extended with a benefit of the doubt, before it turned into a "not up for discussion" shithole. It was like watching someone get wealthy with their fuck you money, and then the community went to shit as mods got tired of trolls, opinions were no longer valued, and the echo chamber effect became amplified.

Why do all good things come to a NAND?
