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.

Yes, however I’ve noticed that you may get downvotes dumped on you initially, oftentimes if your argument is decent you’ll probably rise to level or even positive after several hours. Not sure what it is with Lemmy, but I seem to encounter some comments that get downvoted right off the bat for no reason I can discern. My life doesn’t revolve around internet points, but obviously it’s nice to see upvotes and a good conversation follow a post I’ve added, but lots of downvotes without context are frustrating. Tell my why you disagree or think it doesn’t add to the discussion.
I've noticed that too. Sometimes when I get replied to I'll see that the original comment is slightly in the negative. If I leave another reply and come back later it'll be slightly in the positive. Maybe there's some sort of bias at play, but I've seen this pattern a few times. Maybe people tend to be convinced by and up vote whoever left the last comment in a chain (had the last word)
