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.

OP isn't wrong, it's the reason I came off social media years ago & I've been so happy since

Browsing social media gave this false illusion that people were constantly out having the time of their lives, every single day.

I just constantly felt like I had to try and do the same, that my life was boring and miserable. The reality is that I was doing and having more fun than most people based on conversation, social media was just painting a very false picture of people's day to day lives.

4chan is a psyop, it got sold before the 2016 election.

Lol, that has nothing to do with the constant psyops run on it. Those have been present since well before the sale. The site allows anyone to post anonymously. It's the perfect grounds for manufacturing the appearance of consensus.

You realize this thing right here is social media too, right? :o

By definition, yes.

But let's be honest, you know exactly what I meant.
