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.

One of several secondary reasons why making a Fediverse reference on Place is so hard to maintain is that the Fediverse is built for far less uniformity and tribe mindset.

Edit, I did say one of several secondary reasons. I have no illusion that I've spotted the #1 main reason.

Also because most of us came here to leave reddit

Good! “Tribe mindset” is honestly not a great thing and rewards people for “towing the line” rather than actually expressing their views and having real conversations.

Agreed. The tribe mindset on display shows me how users who love reddit as it is are not a good fit for the Fediverse. Maybe less advertising to that crowd is a good thing.

Why do we want to tell Redditors about this place?

to grow the fediverse communities, i guess... and also because gatekeeping is dumb
