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.

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

- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It's a little different, because people tend to get pissed because of the context of their routines. If I am trying to do work for school or for a corp, I'm going to be extra irritated when my software fails and I have to relearn something on top of doing work I already don't want to do.
Lemmy is just for fun. I think people might be more forgiving.
The software doesn't fail, it just has another workflow than what ones used to. Learning a new software takes time but what you describe sounds like a stress situation where any irritation would cause delay and therefore more stress.
It fails to do what I want, and that's basically the same when I'm irritated lol
My point is that Lemmy being different and sometimes frustrating isn't a big deal because none of us need it to work.
