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.

All that matters is whether you’re speaking for or against the prevailing assumptions of the site/the subreddit. Most people on the internet are not experts on the topic but somehow already have their minds made up.

Also, Lemmy is not better than Reddit in this regard. Dominant opinion > everything else.

Oh yes, I’ve run into that several times. Worst were the biggest subs like /gaming or /cars. Man, never go against the crowd. I’m 90% sure that those subs are filled with industry shills and fans that won’t let you besmirch a (brand or game or car) and downvote your criticism or negative opinion for obvious reasons.
