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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

What are "SEO spam tactics"? I would google, but am afraid of that now.

I think I just figured it out, Search Engine Optimization?

Wasn't seo revamped like decades ago because it was prone to spam? And now is best bid get to be in the first pages/results?

If they haven't gotten into this habit in the last 20 years anyways, I don't think the SEO spam was that last straw. That ship has sailed.
