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 see Reddit going down the same path as Facebook. A ad-ridden platform without the young and savvy, full of boomers posting bad memes and politics. (lemmy.world)

Facebook used to be such an awesome platform. At least until all the ads and boomers.

Also, first post on the fediverse!

I'm GenX and find myself slowing migrating away from the internet entirely as it relates to social interaction and entertainment.

I still need it for bill paying and whatnot, but I've grown exhausted from the ubiquitous hate and vitriol of users and the ever increasing greed and attempts at overall control of my existence from the platforms.

I'm starting to feel like some crazy anti government prepper, but towards the Internet and corporations rather than the government.
