In the sidebar you will see that rule 3 is "Avoid politics", as of US election day.

Political posts represent the vast majority of the moderation burden. They tend not to be the fun/quirky/whimsical/goofy/nonsense kind of posts that people enjoy from c/showerthoughts.

Maybe we should make a c/drivewaythoughts or a c/doomscrollingthoughts to fill the void.

The rule will begin 0200 UTC Nov 6, 2024 to be exact, you have 2 minutes, go ham.

As always I'm open to feedback.

EDIT: While I'm editing the sidebar. I will remove the "Be good to others" rule because it's redundant to the opening paragraph of Lemmy's Code of Conduct.

EDIT 2: If you want to give anonymous feedback you can report this post and give your feedback in the report. It's anonymous to me at least.

I'm not sure that it's possible to move posts but that would be funny. Maybe c/powerthoughts

/c/ToiletThoughts since they're getting flushed away.

Interesting idea - move posts to an appropriate community. Or lol maybe just have one called DumpingGround so mods don't have to decide where they go. I like this idea.

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
