Stop channerisms now. Raise awareness.
@thufie What does greentexting mean?
greentext is copypasta that uses a particular style that image boards used for quoting, see https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/greentext-stories 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
@thufie oh that's a good policy, fuck channerisms
@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.
