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.

I had one guy who was a real fucking creep go through my post history. So I honestly understand wanting it to be private.

imo if you don't want it to be public, don't post it publicly on social media

tbh i don't get why 4 people downvoted your comment here, my above comment was inconsiderate and victim-blamey

thanks for pointing that out

there has to be a better solution other than expecting others not to access public information

  • (auto-)delete posts after a specified amount of time
    • drawback: non-casual creeps can circumvent this by archiving posts
  • separate online identities with multiple accounts for different purposes
    • drawback: online identities can be traced from each other if you're not careful
  • or what i already suggested: only post stuff online that you're comfortable with everyone seeing
    • drawback: you have to hold back on what you post online

i personally use a mix of 2 and 3

I think it's one of the good things reddit has introduced. Would like if something similar was introduced on Lemmy because I find it kinda fucked up that you can pretty much spy on any given user on here if you're mentally fucked enough. It's a stalkers wet dream.

Is reading someone's previous posts really "spying"? It's public. I do it sometimes to find out if the person I'm conversing with is actually an idiot or not. I don't bring their other posts into the conversation but it's a good way to know if it's worth expending more energy on a conversation that isn't going anywhere.

A fellow helldiver eh? For democracy soldier
