Comment on Anon owns a fan

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?

Greentext is green, puts the reader in the shoes of the subject, and usually ends in a short line of non-green commentary. It isn’t a terribly hard concept to transfer somewhere else.
Rather than Frankenstein the past like a save icon, we could be finding ways to make quoted text green in this community on Lemmy, thus fulfilling the requirements.

Pictures get way more engagement than text posts though. Platforms and app feeds are heavily biased to show thumbnails.
Just a bit of css also wont retain its meme if people want to copy it.

But the original greentext isn’t a picture—only normies on other platforms than 4Chan end up with that format unless it is a fabricated one like this.

I cant be the only one that likes these despite not frequenting 4Chan.
Nonetheless the meme format works great for storytelling.
