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.

The problem is that 4chan is too degenerate and reddit is too, well... reddit. Unfortunately Lemmy is far from perfect as well.
Lemmy is just the right amount of degenerate.
I disagree, on one hand people are really easily offended and on the other you have blatant open pedophilia among the anime communities and people calling for physical violence. It might be "just right" if you agree with the majority of people here. If your views are more moderate and nuanced, not so much. Context and intent does not seem to matter here.
Addendum: This isn't even anyones fault specifically, but of human psychology. Read about tribalism and social sorting, it is depressing as fuck.
Well, it's a mixed bag. There are those who want to house the homeless, and there are those who want to house the homeless in tents made of landlord skins.
Tribalism and social sorting are really interesting and depressing to read about. If you disagree with somebody your brain automatically puts them in the "enemy team" and attributes everything you consider evil or negative with them, whether you like it or not.
Reddit is populated by Bill Maher flavored liberals, 4chan is populated by Asmondgold flavored cockroaches, Tildes is populated by approximately seven users (but they're all pretty cool), and Lemmy users are smart with tech and stupid with everything else
This is so accurate I thought it worth acknowledging and repeating.
I think you replied to the wrong guy, but thanks anyways.
I did indeed but I'm glad you saw it because you put exactly how I've felt about Lemmy into words.
I'd like a George Carlin / Bill Burr with some Carl Sagan as balance flavored community, please.
