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.

That was 5 years ago. Nowadays they would both be bots.

Reddit isn't even fun in the posts. The comments are pure shit... insecure edgelords in a constant dick measuring contest mixed with bots and bad actors.

Idk who wastes their money advertising there but I wouldn't.

Every public forum site on the planet, even Lemmy, has insecure edgelords, dick measuring, bots, and bad actors though. That isn't unique to reddit

Yes. But here I can escape and not doing it..currently I have done it regarind some Hexbear discussion... and I already lost any fun on that.

Edit: Forget it, I didn't realize Memes is on lemmy.ml. Don't argue against china or you get banned (how is that modlog thing visible? I would love to see why).

What, you mean you don't like hearing the same recycled jokes repeated ad nauseum because everyone has to be a comedian or having to scroll past 5 threads to read anything of substance?

Avoiding the larger subs solves most of that.

Thanks for proving me wrong

You cannot post or contact the mods because you have been perma banned

every fucking time

Votes should be public to everyone.

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 42 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Nah. Then you have insane people who will harass you for downvoting their comment. Almost everything should be private. Hell, the most insane thing about Lemmy is that reports are public to the mods about who sent out a report.

Aren't upvotes public on lemmy ?

[–] LostXOR@fedia.io 17 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Both upvotes and downvotes are public, as they have to be federated. I think most instances don't show downvote users however.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 2 points 5 months ago

I think kbin used to but then it died

[–] Classy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

It would be a simple matter to just make an instance and turn on visibility, right?

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 9 points 5 months ago

One of the funniest things I witnessed was some tyrant instance owner breaking rules in other instances' communities and getting upset when people reported him to himself.

I neither upvoted nor downvoted yours.
