I don't see how those two things are connected

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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It's a story about his environment
The Epstein files are a bigger deal than the Panama papers but you’re welcome to disagree
Uhhh... I disagree?
I didn't mention either?
I'm really interested as to why it has so many replies. Pretty straightforward story! Would you honestly have done anything different in his position?
Thank you for prematurely answering what the significance of all the hashtags meant. I've avoided the chans. Would you recommend them for anything that Lemmy doesn't do?
I don't actively use it, you can simply tell the # bit is a reply because sometimes the greentext screenshot has one of the strings of numbers highlighted and a comment pops up in an overlapping window.
I did visit it a few times over one summer as a kid, it wasn't good.
- Pornographic adverts on every page in some communities.
- Only has less than a score of different communities.
I found /sci/ the most interesting but iirc it had a lot of racism and was also elitist in favour of high functioning autistic people, and STEM majors. One short summer of 4chan usage essentially psyopped me into focusing in STEM stuff, and being a bit of an intellectual elitist, which probably wasn't best for me as a person.
4chan isn't a real "social" media like Lemmy. Its largely people posturing. Also it's a site of manipulation from Israel and Epstein's pals. Just, nah. If you wanted to go there to find alt viewpoints and culture, I think you can get everything you need from Twitter. Which I also don't use anymore because it's bad for me.
One problem with communities like 4chan and even twitter is that it uses the dynamic of "male club/friend group where people bully each other to intimidate them out of leaving or having independent thoughts."
