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. 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
    • 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).
    • 3.3) 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

A lot of people say fedditors but that sounds way too derivative of reddit

Fedditors would be denizens of the larger Fediverse. It would not refer to only Lemmy users.

I don't think "lemmings" is a very appropriate name, considering the potentially harmful implications of blind misguided movement and lack of individuality.

It's absolutely appropriate and approved. Hey guys, we've asked lemmings.

I find myself ok with the Lemming appellation

Fedizen, cause lemmy is just a part of the fediverse.

I prefer to think of myself as having been a Redditeur. Far above the peasantry of the Redditors. /s

And if there’s a meetup, it can be called a “lemon Party”… I don’t see anything wrong with that term!

Lemons? I think it'd be funny, and there's even an emoji for it too. 🍋

I like the term "Fedinauts" since we interact cross platform like with Kbin users here too.

Fedditors sounds like fat editors.
