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 an age thing, It's the same reason the internet generally got toxic after a time people who aren't passionate about things take over and drown out the high effort contributers

I think there's a difference between typos and the grammar of someone learning the language.

Meaning that you can usually differentiate between a native speaker of your language typing hastily and not bothering to correct themselves of clean up, vs a new person learning your language speaking in a generally broken manner. I think by typos OP was referring to the first case, and was probably not accusing ESL learners for having imperfect grammar.

Don't underestimate me I can do both. May be he did discriminate though. Better point would be to speak about argument being more constructed and than one sentence on lemmy compared to reddit ?!
