      I have a Mastodon account but I’m too socially anxious to actually post there

      I’m also too socially anxious to post here but the comment format helps me get over it sometimes

        Feels more conversational vs shouting into the void vibe.

          That’s why I’ve never understood microblogging. I have a mastodon it just seems totally pointless tho.

        The illusion of anonymity helps a lot. Nobody knows what we look like or what our net worth is or what gross habits we have, we’re all on even playing ground here, sharing our thoughts as anonymous humans.

        I get you. I have a private journal that I post my thoughts on, as I don’t want some random person I don’t know chiming in.

      I prefer the communities method more, since slows down my over sharing

    You can expect more interaction on the showethought itself. IMO microblogs are more about poster, thread style forum is for a topic.

    Is there an actual mind dump community? I would have been a bigger Twitter user if I didn’t feel like I was speaking into a void.

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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.
