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.

You're literally the only person talking about "gross vibes" I can see in this thread. And you said "yeah, true" which to me indicates that you also think there was something gross about the post.
Might be related to some fediverse defederation stuff.
Here are some of the comments I was referring to:
All I was doing was saying yeah, they raise a good point, but not the main problem that I noticed with this post, which is just that it uses the meme format badly.
It feels a little ridiculous that we've gotten 6 comments deep into this, but...
None of those comments make any claims about poster. 2 of them are pedantic jokes in the "Can I use the bathroom?/I don't know, can you?" school of ignoring colloquial usage, and one is what I assume is a well-intentioned legitimate caution about not getting caught in a cyclical spiral of self-defeatism.
As to the meme format, a green text can be anything from an epic 50+ post story about faking an IT job, to a single line about hating one's name, to threatening a cartoon cat, so I'm not sure what template format it's violating. If you don't think it's particularly well-written or interesting, that's fine of course, but just say that.
