There really isn't a critical mass of users here to do that in order to be worthwhile.
As an alternative we have the same memes you know for years in everyones feed here but I actually kind of love that because it's only the best of them!
Oh you mean those hundreds of nested one word comments that add nothing to the subject? Fuck those. So thankful for "tap comment to collapse" in reddit clients.
We still have inline images in comments though which are arguably just as bad, if not worse. I can't be the only one that noticed how rapidly /r/unexpected comment sections went to absolute shit when gif comments became a thing in the Reddit mobile app.
I've already seen numerous cases of people using the place like discord and dropping gifs in reply to a comment, and getting upvoted because "lol moving pictures".
They contribute nothing, they're distracting, take up a lot of space in the comment chain if you like compact mode, often spammed by users that have nothing intelligent to add but feel the need for attention anyway.
I'm patiently waiting for the setting to disable it.
You're lucky if you get a full word. The worst were the one letter chains that culminated in F U C K M E or something.

It reminds me of the time I first started taking antidepressants and they started kicking in. "Holy shit, is this how everyone else feels all the time? This is amazing!" Mine is cripplingly bad and I've had it my entire life. Being a suicidal 7 year old is apparently not normal.
The r/dontputyourdickinthat was seemingly unending

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.
