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.

So much of what's wrong with online communication is that many people speak to a public audience like they'd speak to a friend in private
You mean people getting offended because they misinterpret a friendly jab? Personally, I wish more people commented in a friendly manner. So many toxic comments out there ๐ฌ
Friendly is great, I don't mean people shouldn't joke around.
Why is that wrong?
Not the commentor but the context clues of their comments leads me to think it's because people talk without a filter, like they would their close friends in a private conversation.
Is it so bad to talk without a filter in a place where online community is encouraged?
