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
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

MODERATORS
I think part of it is that it seems like Lemmy has older users on average than Reddit. For teenagers and young twenty years olds raised on the internet, they seem to not really know how to talk to people in a productive way, so it's often just toxic, nasty or empty. Obviously this isn't all people, but internet culture kids tend to all sound and act the same.
As someone younger, I completely agree with you.
Yeah some of the Reddit comment sections I’ve seen over the years have been full of people trying to instigate something.
There's significant overlap there.
Could be. I don't really know for sure. Just speculating.
