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.

Still not cool to ghost / disappear without even saying "hey thanks, but I'm going off the app"
It's rude but I wouldn't call it "messed up", that's a bit much imo
Why? It is messed up. It costs you nothing to say that and saves the other person weeks of wondering what the hell happened, what they did wrong etc. Ultimately it means you used the other person as a means to an end - getting rid of boredom - instead of actually interacting and treating them like a human. And then you discarded them the second it got boring to you - without even saying a "goodbye".
Ghosting is always messed up, no matter the circumstances.
A bit dramatic over some random chat, innit
No
Agree to disagree
I disagree with that ;)
That would be a fair assessment if someone presents you with the two choices and you choose to ghost. But often what happens is that you just completely forget that the app existed. The question of cost never even comes into play.
Okay, whatever. This post talks about a dude getting bored and uninstalling the app, not forgetting about it existing.
