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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

MODERATORS
That doesn't change the fact that this problem exists. Reddit's superior multimedia support makes it a more competitive social media platform.
the best reddit was the one before you could post media inline. before the covered the fornt page in nonsense. when it was a link aggregator with threaded discussion, and nothing more.
i sure miss that reddit. whatever the fuck youre talkin about.. thats not reddit, thats Reddit©.
Well, you did (;
I swear I could hand-write a set of ASCII art frames that you can turn into a low-res copy of Shrek by scrolling down really fast AND have it proof-read, by the time the Reddit video player successfully loads the play icon.
By this logic Instagram and TikTok are better than either, and yet the more any social media site becomes like those two, the more quickly I want to leave it.
Anok most likely means that the average Joe prefers convenience over freedom/privacy etc, and this is a convenience part that Lemmy seriously lacks in currently.
Thank you for saving my time.
Can't argue with that.
