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.

Deserves to get bullied.

Gets bullied.

How could this happen to OP?

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

you can use the \ symbol before the >

>like this

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

All it does is add an extra character without changing the appearance though…

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

are you using some app or something for Lemmy? It looks like this for me.

Also make sure you're using the right one of these / or \

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Sorry, I'm sick right now. I thought one of the two original quotes was using it.

But also isn't nicer to have proper formatting for quotes rather than the > character?

[–] idegenszavak@sh.itjust.works 74 points 11 months ago (1 children)

My cope is usually "it should be the tankies who downvoted". Works every time, now I know I'm 100% right, and I can sleep well.

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

But.. but people on Lemmy call me a tankie?

[–] idegenszavak@sh.itjust.works 42 points 11 months ago (5 children)

You are on an ml instance, so you are definitely a tankie. Lemmy.ml is a gateway to lemmygrad, the same way as marihuana is a gateway to heroin.

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Shh nobody tell this guy I'm an anarchist

[–] idegenszavak@sh.itjust.works 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That's exactly what a tanky in disguise would say.

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 6 points 11 months ago

😂 I made a Lemmy account when .ml was the only instance

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yes they even offered me 300KPW per post over there

[–] DrDystopia@lemy.lol 6 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Normal folks call it a Mali domain, the tankies call it a Marxist-Leninist domain bless them for not doingq a .su domain

[–] idegenszavak@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] DrDystopia@lemy.lol 2 points 11 months ago

I know, that's why I mentioned it instead of i.e. lemmy.marxism-leninism

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 2 points 11 months ago

Its used by more tankies than mali enthusiasts

[–] Oni_eyes@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

....in that it is a well proven case that marijuana consumption does not in fact lead to hard drug usage?

[–] idegenszavak@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yes, that's the point, that it isn't. Omg, you tankies don't understand sarcasm... I won't use the fucking /s, use your brain.

[–] Oni_eyes@sh.itjust.works -2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Not a tankie you little shit.

[–] Mammothmothman@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

Calm down Mr. Amygdala

[–] asudox@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

OP seems to have joined lemmy.ml when it wasn't regarded so.

[–] idegenszavak@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You mean when it was only known to tankies.

[–] asudox@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 11 months ago (2 children)

you're essentially saying that veterans of lemmy are tankies

[–] idegenszavak@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I mean the 2 original developers' github profile picture is che guevara... Also if you read this thread, I use the term "tankie" as someone who simply does not agree with me in whatever topic, that's my cope, that's where this whole conversation started, that was the joke in the skinner meme

Tankies make every conversation political...

[–] asudox@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I use the term “tankie” as someone who simply does not agree with me in whatever topic

that's bullshit

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

I miss reading comprehension, that shit was cool

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

It could even be the creators! We'll never know

[–] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 23 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Reminds me of when BlueSky recently got overwhelmed with reports. They got something like 42,000 reports in an hour, which is significantly over the regular traffic of the platform apparently.

People like their echo chambers, and I suppose as a side effect of maintaining them for so long, if they go somewhere else they try to turn that other place into their echo chamber too, I guess.

[–] reallykindasorta@slrpnk.net 18 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah I feel like twitter in specific started (or maybe just accelerated) a trend towards moral absolutism in online spaces.

It’s always enjoyable to watch people who spend a lot of time in online echo chambers trying to use the same energy irl.

[–] HackerJoe@sh.itjust.works 11 points 11 months ago

You and I have different definitions of enjoyable.

[–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago

this is like 3 layers of irony in at this point.
