              How was Digg’s fallout compared to Reddit’s current fallout? Similar? I never heard of Digg until after it went under.

                it was different. Digg underwent a major site overhaul and redesign that the users universally hated, and most everyone migrated to reddit almost overnight. the changes were rumored to be coming for a couple of months, so the migration had already started slowly over that time, but once Digg version 4.0 was implemented, a virtual tidal wave of users rushed over to reddit all at once.

                Reddit had already existed for a few years by that point and already had an existing user base and culture, similar to lemmy now. Unlike the Digg —> reddit exodus, however, reddit is. now many times the size that digg ever was and is dying a slow, ugly death. while lemmy is experiencing surges in users, it’s happening in several smaller waves rather than all at once as users explore several available alternatives, possibly staying on reddit and dealing with the crappy experience, or even going without it at all, having given up on social media altogether.

                btw, digg is still around, it’s just nothing like what it used to be.

    I like never reading “should of”, as well. Every browser and phone’s autocorrect aggressively suggests a correction to “have.” Sometimes you don’t notice an apostrophe appearing in the middle of a word, so I can forgive “it’s,” but there’s little excuse for fighting with autocorrect to write “should of.”

    Fewer mobile users maybe? For whatever reason, autocorrect/autocomplete suggestions on iOS always tries to add inappropriate apostrophes to plural words. Without fail, every single time. I sometimes reflexively tap the autocomplete suggestion to finish longer words and it’s really aggravating.

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:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.
