I like the concept of the iOS/Android app BeReal. Your app tells you randomly during the day that you have to take a combined picture (frond and back camera). So you don't have much time to prepare. Then this pic is uploaded and friends who follow you can see it....
OP wants FOSS BeReal, it's all there in the title. There is no rule against having a body to the post. I agree that I would be disappointed if showerthoughts was only people's product ideas.
If this type of post became commonplace we could make a rule trying to avoid spam. How would you word the rule? "No promotion of products or product concepts" that might work. Rules have side effects so I would want to look back through old posts to see if it would hurt quality posts.
This post did get two reports. Reports are not super down votes, things need to break rules for me to pull them, I try to be objective. As always I'm open to discussion.
I did giggle about commenter below that is sometimes old. Silver linings.
Or maybe we could have a rule like "Any post that's greater than 12hrs old and has less than 30% approval gets removed" I like this because it gives voting more power for shaping the community and it's objective.
Like it or not, email is a critical part of our digital lives. It’s how we sign up for accounts, get notifications, and communicate with a wide range of entities online.

Yeah, assuming the best intentions from everyone, you would still expect some adjustments would be necessary to any new policy as they see the affect of the policy.

I want to know if the car I’m renting comes with liability insurance. I just want to be sure that if I am at fault in an accident, that the other car will be covered. Lets try to ignore any personal car insurance policy and let’s ignore collision insurance for now....
That’s very fair. I don’t like how unpredictable Bluetooth is when you have multiple peripherals and multiple hosts paired to eachother and all within range of eachother.
Several of your comments/posts are being reported. You can find the code of conduct here: mastodon.world/about
There is nothing shocking in there just basic thing like no name calling. Which I suspect is why this comment was being reported. And is why I took down your other post.
Text is very poor at communicating a lot of subtleties that you get in other forms of communication. So it’s helpful to expect the best intentions of others and maybe ask clarifying questions.
If you look through other posts and comments you will find that people tend to be pretty chill, looking for a laugh or to make others laugh, and enjoying curious observations about life. People also get passionate about certain topics but I like how the code of conduct puts it “Criticize ideas, never people.”

This post received one report pointing out that this post violates the rules 1 & 2; not being a shower thought and the entire shower thought not being in the title. The reporter is correct, at the same time I tend to error on the side of letting posters play with the showerthoughts format and letting the votes do the talking.
Happy to take feedback if you think my approach is bad.
Like imagine going to a pride parade and you see some twink u never met and be Iike, “hey colleague! How’re u? How’s the bottom job position working for you?”...
This post was reported for being offensive. Its hard to know what is offensive to all groups of people. “Colleague” is a pretty innocuous term and “twink” seems to be context dependent. It doesn’t seem obviously derogatory in this context, “you see some dude” feels similar. I won’t take action for now. I’m very open to feedback, being wrong, and learning. Thanks all.
This is my first time being a mod. For example early on I would just remove any post that got a single report, but obviously that's not a good strategy.
There are also other mods including an automod.
If I'm reading your picture correctly it was only 6 days ago that your post got removed. I'm not even sure if I can undo a mod action but I'll look into it. Thanks for bringing it up.
Edit:
I am having trouble finding the original context of the comment that got removed, finding out how to reverse it, or finding who removed it. It's possible it was me but I don't remember it. I have reached out to other mods for help.
I’m sure it’s not a surprise that this post was reported. From what I saw, the conversation remained focused on society and anatomy and remained far less graphic than a basic anatomy textbook. Thanks everyone.
It was also reported for not having the whole thought in the title.
Yeah, it’s good. If you have an idea you think fits the community, you should post it and people can vote and comment. I am excited to see how things, like formatting, evolve over time.
This was reported for being hostile. Please keep your comments focused on the topic being discussed and do not attack the other people in the discussion.
