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.

Lemmy is still a relatively young community. I bet it gets better with time. I like to think that I already noticed small (and healthy) community growths.

And I do not have a metric nor an example. This is super vague, I know.

I don't know. Lemmy's majority user is former reddit users and even at the size reddit is now, sarcasm would constantly go over peoples' heads

I'm pretty sure it's because most of the people here are on the spectrum.

A lot of users came here to boycott reddit. Taking this kind of action is quite hard when it comes to dopamine sources like reddit. The users that migrated have at least in common that they overcame the reddit pull and also took the time and energy to land in a lemmy instance. I'm curious what Lemmy will look like in 5 to 10 years with this kind of "user starter" on the "lemmy agar".
