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.

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

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

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 year 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 1 year 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.

Please can you point to the organised downvoting of your comments

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year 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 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

One of them is a lot more likely.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year 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

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