The platform is just a platform. Ultimately, it's the people that make it great. So when all the cool people were leaving, I joined 'em. I did it from Digg to Reddit and now from Reddit to Lemmy.
Hello, cool Lemming people.

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: 1
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
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- 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.

Agree completely. I've been migrating from system since bulletin boards were around. It's nice to see change in action!
I just deleted my 11 year old account completely, having using Power Suite Delete yesterday to delete the data on it.
My parting comment in the deletion dialog was thus where it asked "Help Reddit Improve":
"Reddit Management does not suffer from Imposter Syndrome.
Imposter Syndrome is when a fully capable individual feels as though they are not able to perform a job or task.
Reddit Management does not suffer from Imposter Syndrome, because that is EXACTLY how you should feel about yourselves.
Incompetent and incapable."
My account was banned due to the username. It was made in jest before the war in Ukraine. I'm glad they banned it though; it was a 10 year account.
Feels pretty heavy for a shower thought, but I agree!
Doesn't take long to get over that redd slut. I've been here on .world since 1.21k total users on the 9th. I haven't touched old redd ever since. Every time I see results show up in a search, it's like an annoying text message after leaving that cheating whore. Ive got more self-respect than any fool that responds to such nonsense. Once a cheating whore; always a cheating whore, as far as I am concerned. Welcome to the next chapter of the internet.
