This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

4chan but with communists
Nah, we're Reddit with communists.
And probably more pretentious.
Reddit used to have a more vocal communist community, but it got cracked down on in 2016 ehen the platform started peddling heavy to the MAGA fascists.
Guess where they went?

And Redditors
A secret so far, so keep your goddamn voice down!
Nuanced enough that you can stereotype by instance!
That's exactly what most people would say if you mentioned Lemmy to them.
Lemmee at 'em! I'll set 'em straight.
Lemmy balls LMAO gott'em

Mostly dumb people who are mostly aware they are dumb
The "best" of both worlds, i.e. dumb people pretending to be smart people that pretend to be dumb.
Honestly, so long as folks are cool, I don’t care how smart or dumb they are. (In the chill sense, not the skateboarding dog with sunglasses sense, but that’s fine, too.)
I’m at a point where I’m exhausted by online toxicity and gamesmanship. It doesn’t have to be about quippy tropes, toxic in-jokes, or proving you’re smarter (or dumber) than the next guy for internet points. I just want to have normal interactions with folks.
In that regard, my experience with Lemmy isn't bad. However, a huge factor in interactions in here (and reddit...) will always be randomness, I think.
We stumble upon a topic or are "guided" through an algorithm. The unpredictability is part of the fun/addiction. So the people commenting and their views on the matter are random, too (at least until the number of users is so high, that you can statically predict what the top comment will say). In addition, our moods vary constantly. Now I'm chatty, another time I feel funny or sad. Just imagine your funny self talking to your sad self about a given topic and already you get a lot of potential conflict. :)
Where am I going with this? I don't really know, but ya, being chill is probably always a good idea and I wanted to match your Fonzie vibes. :)
Oh, yeah. I totally aspire to be a chaos muppet above all other things. (Inclusive, fun, random, and doing no evil, even if I’m up to shenanigans.) If we’re not all having a good time, then what’s even the point?
That is exactly the problem with Lemmy. People don't know about Lemmy.
Do we want them though?
I am quite happy with Lemmy the way it is right now.*
*The way i perceive it through the federation and defederation choices my instance made.
I would love to see ten times more users, at the least. I refuse to go back to reddit, but I miss the diversity, discussions, and the niche communities.
