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 don't feel the need to post my life online... Continues to post personal story online

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 4 points 10 months ago

The difference is ~~it's fake~~ the anonymity.

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Doesn't live online --->>> posts on 4chan

[–] FoundTheVegan@kbin.social 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

never felt like I needed to post my life for the whole world to see

As he posts a story from his life 🙄

Dude is so oblivious and arrogant. He barely knows her and is already judging, thankfully smart girl saw the signs and dodged a bullet. It's rare for greentext to have a happy ending.

[–] InfiniteStruggle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

damn bro, no need to get up in arms about it. Everybody judges everybody all the time, just a reality of life. She's judging him, he's judging her, I'm judging you right now, you're going to be judging me when you read this, and on it goes.

NGL if you have a flip phone now, you're either a contract killer, a drug dealer and or a stage 5 weirdo.

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

loner, but not autistic or ugly so I get invited out pretty often

Oof. This hurt to read

Folks wanna know what they're getting into. Your social media feeds are an easy indicator. Your twitter all retweets of Andrew Tate? Facebook filled with pics of you dressed up like a leather dog? Truth social? Concerning for many women.

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 months ago

Being on 4chan a wayyy bigger red flag than using a flip phone most of the time.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Shes gonna think you're handing her a burner phone dude lmao

[–] funktion@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

If someone pulls out a flip phone I'm just going to assume they're a drug dealer

[–] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

Anon actually is in complete denial about his autism.

[–] kawlb@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

you have xmpp? -no...

Matrix, Briar, SimpleX? -no

gotta have Email at least? ... ... no 🧐

[–] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (3 children)

I know this is likely fake, but I have gotten that reaction from people. Folks really find it strange when you don't have social media. The times it really sucks is when they think you're lying and just don't want to add them.

[–] zarathustra0@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

But you are lying. You are on lemmy.

[–] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Imagine if the norm was to ask for your Lemmy/Reddit account.

[–] dzaffaires@sh.itjust.works 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yep and somehow, they want you to "prove" you don't have one.

[–] ChexMax@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

It's about safety for me. Going on a date with someone is such a gamble. If they have zero social media presence, that's outside of what's normal. Anything outside of normal social expectations is a safety red flag to me, because you immediately become less predictable to me. I don't want to be alone with someone I don't really know who is unpredictable. I'm just trying not to get murdered.

Hey I want to look at 4chan stuff like this but not get flashed with porn, any tips?

[–] CannedTuna@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

Stick to communities like this that screencap the good bits so you don’t have to sort through the crap.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 0 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

I am terminally online and even I don't want to engage with someone I know IRL through social media. We don't need to be on discord or Instagram or Reddit to talk 1 on 1. We can just fucking text. Like on the phone. No, I don't want to download Kik or whatsapp or any other random, sketchy app. We can text through the phone.

[–] Firipu@startrek.website 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Fuck texting like a Neanderthal. Use a modern, and secure app to communicate. WhatsApp as a bottom of the barrel thing (99% of society outside of the US is on it, so it's the de facto standard) , signal or better if you can.

[–] Pohl@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Nothing makes me smirk like the rest of the world bragging to Americans that they use Facebook to text. Yeah guys, you nailed it. Big win. We’re over here using standard protocols like rubes. I’m sure you get all kinds of security from that free app from Mr Zuckerberg. lol

[–] kilgore_trout@feddit.it 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm all for discrediting Facebook services for better alternatives, but Whatsapp employs End to End encryption by default, while SMS is readable from your ISP and anyone intercepting your conversation.

[–] Pohl@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Facebook makes money selling data for advertising. They don’t host and maintain what’s app for the good of mankind. every single thing you send on the app is being harvested for data and you know it. It is decrypted at each end and hovered up for sale to the highest bidder.

[–] kilgore_trout@feddit.it 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Facebook makes money mainly from advertising, yes, which can be done also on Whatsapp and will be in the future.

While they can still harvest some data from Whatsapp even if conversations are encrypted, my point was that they have no way to read the content of messages you send.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 months ago

You guys use iMessage, a proprietary app from an other big tech company and use it to dismiss the other half of the population.

You guys aren't much better.

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm not even sure what that means

[–] deus@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Qt3.14 = cutie-pie.

[–] Cruxifux@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If you don’t have lemmy nobody will fuck you.

[–] AlfredEinstein@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Her: "What's Lemmy?"

Me: "It's like if 500 nerds emulated the Reddit experience of 2011."

Her: (visibly drying)

[–] and@sh.itjust.works 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

anon should’ve pulled out his Lemma and asked for her username (not that you can follow anyone here afaik) he would’ve smashed that instant

[–] lseif@sopuli.xyz 1 points 10 months ago

erm, a username alone is not very helpful, so unless he asked for her home instance as well, i-
