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
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    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-----

avatars and usernames should be bigger so it's easier to grow a sense of community (merv.news)

I think the apps and the web ui should increase the size of the users avatars and make the username a bit bigger so it’s easier for people to start recognizing eachother and grow a sense of community. Back in the forum days people would remember eachother’s usernames/avatars for their contributions and it would be easier to grow a sense of community making things less hostile and easier to create community events

While I agree, I'd like to add that it's not hard to recognize and remember the very active and/or notable posters.

Actually for the fun of it, I'll name a few on top of my head:

QuentinCallaghan: Sopuli founder and avid commenter.

Ategon: Hot in the tech subs, seems like a really nice fella.

Picard Maneuver: Memelord and legend

Flying Squid: Meme master and commenter

Dessalines: Dev for Lemmy, Jerboa (and the keyboard I use, thanks this is great).

Ruut: Lemmyworld founder.

And some more whose username I can't recall at the moment.

Also it'd be fun if you commnted some more. :D
