    I don’t care what you say, I’m not going through your history and upvoting everything.

    Might it just be people being happy to recognise someone sharing their point of view?

    Hard NOT to upvote such a based comment history. ✊🏼

    Detecting that would require a skill set.

      You mean like a particular set of skills? Skills you acquire over a very long career?

        If you let my post history go now, that’ll be the end of it. If you don’t, I will look for you. I WILL find you. And I will give you a discerning disapproving look. For like…a really long uncomfortable silent time.

      Are mods actually dumb enough to assume someone would be dumb enough to include their own username in the vote brigading account though

        Mods are no different from normal users. They’ll ban you if you say something they don’t like.

        I think they’re suggesting it would seem like the user is upvoting their own comments with an alt, which could get them banned.

          Oh, ok. I am stupid then. I thought you were saying that while logged into ERROR: Earth.exe has crashed, you would navigate to Lemmy.World/c/Lost_My_Mind-1 and downvote some kind of ghost account.

          I was like “Small brain doesn’t understand. Big stomach is hungry!!! ME WANT FOOD!!!”

    I sometimes do that, but only like 3 or 4 posts/comments, not the whole history.

    When I read a comment that makes me double-take, I check whether this is a troll that spouts a certain kind of contrarian take on every thread (you know the kind I’m talking about), or if it’s someone who posts reasonably most of the time but will put out a mind-provoking thought once in a while. I think the latter is fine and part of healthy discourse, so I’ll upvote the unpopular take and some of their reasonable takes that I checked.

    No no no, we don’t do that kind of critical thinking around here, blind outrage posting is the only allowable form of communication!

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.
