Comment on showerthoughts is just a place for people who don't have microblogging social media to dump their random thoughts

  I have a Mastodon account but I’m too socially anxious to actually post there

  I’m also too socially anxious to post here but the comment format helps me get over it sometimes

    Feels more conversational vs shouting into the void vibe.

      That’s why I’ve never understood microblogging. I have a mastodon it just seems totally pointless tho.

    The illusion of anonymity helps a lot. Nobody knows what we look like or what our net worth is or what gross habits we have, we’re all on even playing ground here, sharing our thoughts as anonymous humans.

    I get you. I have a private journal that I post my thoughts on, as I don’t want some random person I don’t know chiming in.

  I prefer the communities method more, since slows down my over sharing
