Stop channerisms now. Raise awareness.

@thufie I just boosted a post because the point was great, then unboosted it for not having alt text, saved it to post and add alt text, and only when I thought the phrase "greentext from 4chan" did I realize it had a greentext in it. I didn't post, but goddamn this shit is insidious.

@kexe @thufie

greentext is copypasta that uses a particular style that image boards used for quoting, see knowyourmeme.com/memes/greente for details

how to recognize greentext:

• it's some kind of anecdote
• each line begins with “>”
• sentences are incomplete
• there may be some twist

just using quoting style with “>” is not sufficient, i.e. the following is not a greentext:

> Stop channerisms now. Raise awareness.

rationale: this is not an anecdote, it contains two complete sentences, no twist
