I like these federated services being kinda "rough around the edges"

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:
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.
Reminds me of Reddit in 2008 when I joined. Legitimate communities forming and finding their way. Wasn't super intuitive how to use or what to do, but something special.
Reddit has since just transformed into something almost unrecognizable, but its tough to beat the size and reach it's built.
On thing Lemmy is going to have to worry about is bots. I'm hoping the decentralization is a good solution to both monetization and bots. We shall see.
