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 have been thinking this over the past week on reddit every time I see a "Lemmy/Kbin needs to sort out X, Y and Z otherwise it's going to fail massively." or "Lemmy/Kbin is impossibly hard to use/sign up for". Usually with CAPITAL LETTERS and emojis.

Like... ok. I don't think you'll be missed with that attitude. At least for the time being.

I read Haiku (OS) has no future recently and I think a similar thing is happening here.

Do we want to "have a future" or do we just want to be a cool place doing cool shit for ourselves?

Yeah "having a future" is always under the lens of "marketable/corporate profits" anyway. Some people don't understand that sometimes, humans just want to build nice things because they want to!

To be fair, I had some of those complaints with the instances initially being linked. It clicked when RIF linked to Lemmy.World in its final update message. It didn't have dumbass hoops to go through, just a straight forward email, username, password, you're in system like the first few things I was seeing. That and many people were over explaining it and just confusing the hell out of people.

If a person if truly interested in moving to a place with better discourse, they'll make the effort. If not, they should stay on Reddit.
