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.

The community seems split on this one lol. Makes me think that some of the people who subscribed to this community literally don't know what a greentext is. Which is nothing new; I made this months ago:

Personally, it takes the fun out of creating OC because I like making edgier memes but there's no community for it here. And even if something does make people laugh and get upvoted, the mods will take it down. (For example, I made a meme about a pregnant alcoholic mother and it got taken down. Like really? We can't make abortion jokes?) So fuck it, I mainly just repost now. If you can't beat em join em.

It seems like some people who aren't familiar with greentexts don't quite get the point of the community. You read the ramblings of Anon like you would watch animals at the zoo, which is different than endorsing everything Anon says.

And you shouldn't. Anon is usually deranged.

Some bad words and unhealthy opinions are bound to make an appearance. In that case, you're supposed to be dumbfounded at how Anon thinks/acts, shake your head, and maybe get a guilty chuckle out of it. Like the sidebar says, if you're getting angry while reading these, you're probably doing it wrong.

Didn't subscribe. It was on my front page.

Unlike reddit, there's no "default subs" on Lemmy. It's either "all" or "subscribed". All literally means all communities, so yes, objectionable stuff will show up in your feed. The solution is to block them, then they won't show in All any more.
