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.

Nowadays...

If there is one eternal constant in human history, it's that every generation inaccurately believes that the problems they face are new.

Human creates thing.

Thing is cool.

Humans exploit thing.

Thing is no longer cool.

Humans reminisce about how cool the thing used to be, and lament the loss of cool.

If Lemmy gets popular enough, it too will be monetized and we'll al have to find somewhere else to go.

If the future involves big popular mainstream paid instances, it sounds like the fediverse was a success.

Lemmy won’t be what it is now, but our niche instances can still exist.
