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.

Deserves to get bullied.

Gets bullied.

How could this happen to OP?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

you can use the \ symbol before the >

>like this

[–] Ziglin 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

All it does is add an extra character without changing the appearance though…

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

are you using some app or something for Lemmy? It looks like this for me.

Also make sure you're using the right one of these / or \

[–] Ziglin 1 points 1 week ago

Sorry, I'm sick right now. I thought one of the two original quotes was using it.

But also isn't nicer to have proper formatting for quotes rather than the > character?

My cope is usually "it should be the tankies who downvoted". Works every time, now I know I'm 100% right, and I can sleep well.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

But.. but people on Lemmy call me a tankie?

[–] [email protected] 42 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

You are on an ml instance, so you are definitely a tankie. Lemmy.ml is a gateway to lemmygrad, the same way as marihuana is a gateway to heroin.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Shh nobody tell this guy I'm an anarchist

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That's exactly what a tanky in disguise would say.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

😂 I made a Lemmy account when .ml was the only instance

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes they even offered me 300KPW per post over there

Kilowatts make the world go round.

[–] Ziglin 2 points 2 weeks ago

No, it's thousands per Watt 1000/W

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Normal folks call it a Mali domain, the tankies call it a Marxist-Leninist domain bless them for not doingq a .su domain

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I know, that's why I mentioned it instead of i.e. lemmy.marxism-leninism

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Its used by more tankies than mali enthusiasts

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

....in that it is a well proven case that marijuana consumption does not in fact lead to hard drug usage?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, that's the point, that it isn't. Omg, you tankies don't understand sarcasm... I won't use the fucking /s, use your brain.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Not a tankie you little shit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Calm down Mr. Amygdala

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

OP seems to have joined lemmy.ml when it wasn't regarded so.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You mean when it was only known to tankies.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

you're essentially saying that veterans of lemmy are tankies

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I mean the 2 original developers' github profile picture is che guevara... Also if you read this thread, I use the term "tankie" as someone who simply does not agree with me in whatever topic, that's my cope, that's where this whole conversation started, that was the joke in the skinner meme

Tankies make every conversation political...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I use the term “tankie” as someone who simply does not agree with me in whatever topic

I miss reading comprehension, that shit was cool

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

It could even be the creators! We'll never know

Reminds me of when BlueSky recently got overwhelmed with reports. They got something like 42,000 reports in an hour, which is significantly over the regular traffic of the platform apparently.

People like their echo chambers, and I suppose as a side effect of maintaining them for so long, if they go somewhere else they try to turn that other place into their echo chamber too, I guess.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah I feel like twitter in specific started (or maybe just accelerated) a trend towards moral absolutism in online spaces.

It’s always enjoyable to watch people who spend a lot of time in online echo chambers trying to use the same energy irl.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

You and I have different definitions of enjoyable.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

this is like 3 layers of irony in at this point.
