  The idea that people are making fake greentext screen shots is both puzzling and embarrassing. If you have the idea, just post it as a normal comment somewhere else—forging 4Chan screens is the path of madness.

    Is a green text actually a 4chan screen?

    Or is it a distinct meme template to tell stories in ab engaging way that just happened to originate on 4chan?

    Especially when the content literally never existed on 4chan, it looks like it but isnt.

    I ask this with some rhetoric. We did click the content. Would it have been equally enjoyable as a twitter post: “after 6 years of living in the dark i discovered my light is dimmable, fuck me”?

      Greentext definitely did exist on 4Chan before becoming a meme format, and even then, it only became a meme format because screenshots were an easy way to transfer the gold out of the sludge mines of 4Chan.

      The idea of greentext is good, but photoshopping fake 4Chan screens is like digging up your dead grandma and puppeteering her corpse to prove that you definitely didn’t write a birthday card to yourself.

      It’s time to start posting new greentext as text so people will screenshot Lemmy. Let the old bones of 4Chan rest until they may or may not be reincarnated by the admins.

        I am in agreement but also doubt.

        With the name and look, new users will still be looking for the old name.

        It also asks the question if we can post new format content under the old new? That probably depends on the community.

        Basically it calls for sitting around the table to discuss what a green text is and what it is not. Are we really organized enough for this?

    you’re right… it is fake, and yet it is true. so is it true or is it fake? and if it’s fake, is it a less or more genuine greentext?

    But here’s the real question: did OP convert a TIFU to greentext themselves, or did they use AI?
