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.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I can't really think of a reason for that as Reddit is hated somewhat equally by "both" sides of the spectrum. It's just something I find interesting.

Banned. You can’t start threads when you’re banned.

I tried asking questions about why exactly they were banning me and they wouldn’t discuss it. Communicating with me is “feeding the troll” in their mind.

It all happened in a big wave, within the last six months of my having a reddit account, and none of them would discuss it. Believe me I tried. I made appeals, I asked for explanation, it was never given. Questions like “which rule did I break? Which comment was it?” would be answered with “You have been blocked from communicating with the mods of /r/whatever”. They just hung up the phone. I was all ears because these were communities I was part of for over a decade in some cases, and they would not communicate at all.

Banning someone without explanation is a step further down the same path that contains downvoting someone’s answer to your question, without responding.
