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.

Moderation and intent are big parts of the difference too.

I don’t use 4chan but I gather that it’s a wild little corner of the internet where you can put whatever crazy shit you wish on a website that others will read, knowing what they signed up for. Basically anything goes so you get all types. You might even call it free speech absolutism.

But Twitter is actively moderated and algorithm tuned to favor a certain flavor of bias and, especially given the players involved, propaganda.

One is neutrality even in the face of humanity’s worst, and the other is actively siding with and promoting humanity’s worst.

If you think 4chan is neutral and isn't being manipulated with propaganda then I have a bridge to sell you.

I think you should be banned from lemmy

Lol because I disagree with you

[–] gens@programming.dev 6 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

No. Because you don't see some people as human beings.

I'm sorry if I don't see Nazis as human beings. That usually happens when they try to kill me and everyone that looks like me. Maybe you could hang out with a bunch of taliban, ISIS, and Nazi members and befriend them and see the goodness in them.

Actually maybe I was a bit too harsh. Well whatever.
