Eh, it’s more like going out with the guys then complaining about your ex. And incidentally, you’ve all had a ride one that particular crazy coaster so you can sympathize.

Showerthoughts

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. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

I disagree. I'm not trying to fuck Lemmy.
Ironically, you used this sub to talk about Reddit. We left, why don't you move on?

I hope this can just be a hangout with the lads and lasses where we can bitch about anything, including our ex!
And the ex is also the waiter.
I'm new, what is fedverse? Is this fed verse? Is lemmy part of something else called fedverse?

I couldn't agree more.
It's a form of therapy
I enjoy the sarcasm though.
But thanks to reddit most of us are here, so it will take bit of time to forget it
People on Mastodon are complaining about people talking about twitter, and posting their complaints to the hashtag #twitter which is very odd, as they could filter it.
I expect there will be filters on Lemmy eventually.
Give it time the conplaining will fade. The same happened with digg
More like fleeing a totalitarian regime and talking with your fellow compatriots about how much oppression you've endured. (A bit exaggerated, but you get the point.)
I agree, let's move on. Lemmy is the future.
Technically complaing about others talking about reddit. Is still talking about reddit with extra steps
If reddit was that important to whomever they should probably talk to someone about it.
I dunno… at this point it’s like hearing stories about your crazy ex and kinda enjoying at what a dumpster fire s/he has become.

Why not just ignored those posts then? There are plenty of other posts to read.
Expect in the case of these two websites, I kinda WANT to hear people bitch about their ex.
Thank you. Forget Reddit. I mean, like it's so hard to move on. She was so great for so long. We have so many... memories. Not all good, but it's so hard to be alone. This new girl is nice, but she's not the same.
Sure, Reddit got pissed while I was out with my friends and trashed my apartment. It was clear by then that our relationship was so messed up, but I wanted to salvage things and rushed home, only to be cornered by Reddit. Reddit was threatening me with a knife and had broken almost everything in the apartment. My friends came to help me and while one tried to subdue Reddit, she bit him and I escaped.
I moved out and deleted my account.
Sure, weeks later, I got drunk and browsed Reddit a few times after all that. When I wasn't drinking, she tracked/stalked me and sent unsolicited nudes. Nice.
I found a much better girl to hang out with. Sure she federates with everyone, but she federates with me much more. Very cool.
I haven't really looked at anything else.
I think that by being part of the change, we will be able to really make a big difference. RIP Apollo
