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.

At least if a community goes bad, people can shift very easily and it's an inconvenience. I think ideally though, there should be a way to create publicly accepted combined communities. Maybe an option in a community's setting to graft in posts from another community. Although then rule enforcement and moderation might get a little tricky. For example, just say !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk grafted in !casualuk@feddit.uk, maybe along with uk politics and other UK related subs (even local UK subs, that'd be cool!). Users on unitedkingdom may see something on casualuk and unknowingly leave comments on it which are political- and discussing politics is banned on casualuk.
Yeah I'll be honest, I don't have a lot to say about how those kinda scenarios should be managed at the moment, I haven't thought that stuff through too deeply I'm realizing. I'm pretty happy to defer to folks with experience in community moderation and such, I'm frankly a pretty poor candidate for that, for several reasons (somewhat moody, sometimes fond of borderline hyperbolic takes, etc.).
I do think users should be able to have the experience they want, but that's vague enough to be almost uselessly uncontroversial, and I also recognize that some people's wants can be incompatible with others', without either necessarily being unreasonable or unfair. So, another partial reflection of the human condition in general I guess.
