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.

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 ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Friendly is great, I don't mean people shouldn't joke around.

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?
