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:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

May I ask why you're on greentext? It's literally just 4chan screenshots and if you know that kind of humor doesn't sit well with you then it might be better to avoid it.

It's on the front page pretty often, as it seems like one of the larger communities

I'll probably end up blocking it as the other reply mentioned, but I don't usually like doing that. It's also a bummer cause occasionally something really lovely gets produced by 4chan, you just have to wade through a lot of bleakness before you find it, it would seem

I don't mean to disparage others their choice or preferences, just expressing I don't really understand them

Hope you have a good one :)

You would probably enjoy this community more.

FWIW, I totally get the way you feel about greentexts in general. I think it's a very natural reaction, and those of us (myself included) who enjoy these posts without reservation are actually the unusual ones who have been desensitized by a lifetime on internet forums.

There's a certain jaded callousness, seasoned with a sprinkling of cynicism and misanthropy, which allows one to most fully savor the fruits of c/greentext 😂

I didn't realize there was a wholesome greentext community here on Lemmy, thanks! :)

See, if I block greentext I'm gonna really miss bewildering nonsense fever-dream posts like this:

I saw it and thought back to this discussion lol

Anyway, hope you're having a good one
