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.

Redditors are communists? News to me.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 11 months ago

Image from 2021, I was on reddit then, I am a communist. Checks out

They mixed up Lemmy and Reddit, Reddit is full of alt-right bigots

[–] [email protected] 88 points 11 months ago

Lmao this is just as ridiculous as them saying Reddit is communist. Massive exaggeration in both cases

[–] [email protected] 32 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Can agree. On Lemmy now and I can feel the ghost of Marx over my shoulder whispering about the proletariat.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (4 children)

They follow me around and Downvote me, like literal ghosts...

Lemmy is tankie heaven

I was at +20, now at 3... Thanks tankies

It baffles me that there are actually people who complain about being downvoted

[–] [email protected] -4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

You misunderstood me, I complained about downvotes being used as a political way to stomp me down (and make my comments invisible) by organized groups on a forum that should not be political.

It isn't so much that there is a conspiracy to downvote you, it is just that you comment shit takes. Which attracts downvotes.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago

Sure, some are. Maybe most. But any and all thing that the tankies don't like, gets downvotes. Even if I don't write it and especially when it's not stupid.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 11 months ago

Please can you point to the organised downvoting of your comments

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (2 children)

If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That's the likely explanation, but not the only explanation.

[–] Honytawk 1 points 11 months ago

Or you surround yourself with assholes, or you are yourself an asshole.

One of them is a lot more likely.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

Alternatively, it can also mean there are a lot of assholes around. Especially of the tankie type. I just got downvoted from 20+ to 3. Will probably end up like -60 just for saying tankies suck.

COMUNISM IS A GREAT IDEA. what a shame their leaders are ALWAYS THUGS who spend YOUR MONEY IN MIAMI

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Hexbears can't downvote, fun fact. There are others, though.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 11 months ago

Go somewhere else then ya big baby 😭

[–] [email protected] 31 points 11 months ago

Nah liberals make up the majority of Reddit, the rightoids are just more active politically.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

That was the goal at least.
