We should have an annual Mega Cake Month for all of those who joined Lemmy back in June, to celebrate our move away from Reddit.

I say we just permanently play a game called "lemmy isn't reddit, but whatever it is, they're both the internet"?

And whenever someone brings up reddit in literally any capacity, we just say "lemmy isn't reddit, but whatever it is, they're both the internet," or some variation of it?

Ex.

Premise: "Stop doing that reddit thing! This is Lemmy not reddit!"

Response: "Lemmy isn't reddit, but whatever it is, they're both the internet"

Ex2.

Premise: "Let's do something like /r/place!"

Response: "Lemmy isn't reddit, but whatever it is, they're both the internet"

Ex3.

Premise: "this site is turning into reddit I wish it would be the way it was when there were 80% less users!"

Response: "Lemmy isn't reddit, but whatever it is, they're both the internet"

Why?

Because I'm sick of both sides of this shit, and this response is neutral as fuck, so it'll make a boring-ass milquetoast brief conversation that basic just echos "yeah mate I guess so huh interesting" and move on.

And no matter which side of that you're on, you probably agree. Talking about how x on Lemmy is or should be like x on reddit only furthers the annoying discussion that will literally never die if we don't murder it here and now.

"Lemmy isn't reddit, but whatever it is, they're both the internet"

Or something catchy idk

How about 'dessert day'

It's in the theme of decentralization, since everyone can have whatever they want. Don't like sweet things? Desserts don't even have to be sweet

Where once was light

Now darkness falls

Where once was love

Love is no more

Don't say - goodbye

Don't say - I didn't try

These tears we cry

Are falling rain

For all the lies

You told us

The hurt, the blame!

And we will weep

To be so alone

We are lost!

We can never go home

So in the end

I will be what I will be

No loyal friend

Was ever there for me

Now we say - goodbye

We say - you didn't try

These tears you cry

Have come too late

Take back the lies

The hurt, the blame!

And you will weep

When you face the end alone

You are lost!

You can never go home

You are lost!

You can never go home

showerthoughts

@lemmy.world

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:

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
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.
