3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

It may not be profound, but Lemmy has a sense of humor.
!bathtubthoughts@discuss.tchncs.de was sort of aiming to be that iirc. Im not sure if it's active, haven't seen it pop up on my feed
It looks slow, but certainly not dead. A handful of posts a week isn't bad.
There is no rule that shower thoughts can't be profound yeah. I get you though. We need a community like mullingover. Things we think about multiple times and might think have merit.
/c/showerthoughts also has a "no politics" rule, which means that many topics are off-limits - and since this rule is worded very vaguely, the admins decide at their own discretion which topics are allowed.
A c/epiphany comm would be pretty neat too.
I would be afraid posts would be met with jeers of, "you just figured that out? How are you even alive, bro?"
Maybe I underestimate the Lemmy audience, though.
It would definitely need a rule about not trashtalking people for realizing basic concepts.
perhaps the library, the philosophy section ? The 100 section is a place to start.
I'm in the "everything has been thought of and it's all been written about" camp and a little less mind dump and a little more contemplative reading would be a good thing for most of us.
i am aware of the irony of suggesting the dewy decimal system as a "thought"
