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 difference is ~~it's fake~~ the anonymity.
Shes gonna think you're handing her a burner phone dude lmao
If someone pulls out a flip phone I'm just going to assume they're a drug dealer
Anon actually is in complete denial about his autism.
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.
It can feel like you're guilty until proven innocent.
Well, it is not a court. But frankly i wouldn't want to be with someone, who cannot meet a couple times and develop an understanding of other people by actually talking and listening to them.
I also thinks this plays a role as to why so many relationships fail today. People have unlearned to build experience and trust their instincts, looking for preconceptions instead.
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.
Yep and somehow, they want you to "prove" you don't have one.
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.
loner, but not autistic or ugly so I get invited out pretty often
Oof. This hurt to read
you have xmpp? -no...
Matrix, Briar, SimpleX? -no
gotta have Email at least? ... ... no 🧐
Being on 4chan a wayyy bigger red flag than using a flip phone most of the time.
While like others have said this is probably fake.
That said, there is a middle ground. Any one refusing to use ANY social media probably has issues...
Those acting like this is normal, would give someone who refuses to have a cell phone weird looks or what about any phone at all?
For people refusing to use LinkedIn (or similar), that's the same as refusing to have a resume pre Internet
Don't expect society to bend to you, you're NOT special.

And this is where we went wrong. Why should it be the expected default, to share your private data with some corportation doing god knows what with it, among other things selling it to third companies that you do not know, which then target you with political advertising aimed at undermining democracy in your country?

This is entirely different. The issue with social media is not, that it provides a means to reach you. The issue is that you sell all your private data, that includes and allows for information on highly sensitive topics such as your sexual orientation and physical and mental health. Having a phone number provides none of this. The worst issues with phones is scam calls targeting elders on landlines. And how do they do that? because some other company aggregated the data and sold it, so the scammers can target postal codes with higher rates of old and vulnerable people.
So all in all this also sounds like a particularly american problem, where little culture around data protection and a higher demand for public exposure exists and people are used to prostitution of their values, principles and civil rights.
Bro live under the botnet
If you don’t have lemmy nobody will fuck you.
Her: "What's Lemmy?"
Me: "It's like if 500 nerds emulated the Reddit experience of 2011."
Her: (visibly drying)
Her: (visibly drying)
Ben Shapiro intensifies.
Let's say you've been a bad girl. Let's say, hypothetically, you've been a naughty girl even. Ok, and if you were a naughty girl, you would be my dirty little slut right? Then hypothetically speaking, you would be my little cumslut. Now, let's say you're also daddy's girl.
Now that we have established that you are both a bad girl and daddy's girl, I believe you'd agree with me when I say that you deserve a spanking. Am I not correct? A bad girl deserves a spanking, and as I am daddy, you are my girl, so I am the one who must provide punishment.
qt3.14 🤮
I'm not even sure what that means
Qt3.14 = cutie-pie.
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
erm, a username alone is not very helpful, so unless he asked for her home instance as well, i-
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Hey I want to look at 4chan stuff like this but not get flashed with porn, any tips?
Stick to communities like this that screencap the good bits so you don’t have to sort through the crap.
NGL if you have a flip phone now, you're either a contract killer, a drug dealer and or a stage 5 weirdo.
