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.

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.

lol ... it would be just funny for the mods to instead delete posts to just move them onto a c/rejectedpoliticalpostsfromshowerthoughts

keep up the work guys, the community looks great and we have you guys to thank for it.

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

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.

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