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:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Lost yearly Nitro and all my friends

That’s sadder than he seems to understand it is.

I know "lol anon has no friends" is le epic funny meme but by friends, they obviously meant their contacts.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

I have a lot of people, I'd consider friends, that I only communicate with through discord. If I lost my account, I'd likely never hear from them again. Kinda get it.

This is one of the bigger reasons I don't want to use social media controlled by a corporation, it means they can choose to cut me off from people at their discretion, which will probably be based on what is convenient and easy for them.

And as Reddit has shown they will shut you down for expressing any political opinion they don't like.

Luigi is an American hero. Whether he did it or not is irrelevant. It's what he stands for.

They’re banning people for upvoting now lol

Never understood why anyone would want to pay 100$ a year for discord, the paid version doesnt give you that much imo

[–] [email protected] 36 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Which is a good monetation system. Premium users barely get anything but still enough to pay, while free users can do pretty much everything too.

I spam 500mb uploads... it kinda makes sense to me

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago

personally the $3 a month nitro is worth it for me, considering how much I use it. I know Lemmy hates anything capitalist but a coffee a month isnt that much

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (6 children)

Personally, Discord has facilitated a long distance relationship with my now wife, and nearly ten years of weekly TTRPG games. I don't mind the cost because they cannot provide that service for free forever, and I think it's worth it for what I get out of it. The other benefits they add for paying are almost just bonuses to me after that.

I pay $30 a year for Nitro Basic. It's only $2.50 a month and worth it to me with how much I use it.

To support the developers and pay for a product you use all the time? Same reason you pay for any software/game.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

I agree with you in principle for supporting developers directly through something like OpenCollective....

... but ask Mozilla how much their Firefox devs get for each financial donation.

Anon doesn't know, Discord fails to include a libre software license text file. We do not control it, anti-libre software.

  • Three-year-old* account with no violations
  • 5-year-old* alt account
[–] [email protected] 57 points 2 months ago (30 children)

That is kinda bullshit if they didn't even see the content.

[–] [email protected] 64 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I mean, seeing as it’s a 4chan greentext there’s probably some very important information being left out.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

Entirely possible.

I mean, if you’re on 4chan…

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago

This was my first thought.

Obviously did some shit then trying to gain sympathy like omg I was banned for being nice.

[–] [email protected] 53 points 2 months ago

And I'm not looking forwards to the effort it is going to take to get my friends to migrate away from discord. It was hard enough to get them on discord in the first place.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 2 months ago

Lost yearly Nitro

You cuck.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 2 months ago

Anon's big mistake was not being the President of the Gulf of America.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 2 months ago

Same happened to me but with animal cruelty content or something. I tried to get the account back but turns out it was a "ban wave" so a lot of other people who got banned but were innocent were doing the same so discords services got overwhelmed by the appeals. Maybe they should have realized after that that this kinda banning is a horrible approach.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 2 months ago (4 children)

On this topic: I currently have installed on my phone and computer: slack, zoom, MSTeams, element, discord, Facebook messenger and signal to communicate in various projects and friends. What is this madness?!

This is why people should be worried of using these massive services, luckily it was ‘only’ Discord (if this was your primary way to interact with friends, this can be a huge deal).

But imagine if it was your email account!

Getting a reputable provider, self hosting or using a decentralized option is paramount for your own sanity.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago (2 children)

There was that man who was all in on Google.

He had a telemedicine appointment for his son who had a problem with his penis. Dr asked him to send a close-up photo so he could diagnose the skin condition

So the guy takes the photo with his pixel phone and sends it

The phone automatically backs up the photo

Google's AI says it's child porn, his account is deleted and police are contacted

Police look into it and say "not porn, totally fine" but have to go to his house to tell him the was no problem because his phone was Google, his internet was Google fibre, his email was Gmail and his photo album was on Google and all that was irrevocably deleted

Anon forgot to put their interpersonal relationships in a RAID array

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Its greentext. Its not real/true.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And yet it is.

Can't say if this anon specifically had this happen, but there's plenty of proof of it happening.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago

So basically if you hate a community, you just gotta go there and post some no-no pics, and everything gets nuked? Great, I'm sure nobody will abuse this.

Good on discord for actually doing something given their reputation

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Given their reputation, you should question if it’s actually due to CP, or some other kind of possible political crackdown. I wouldn’t assume either way.

Usually when it looks like these people are doing their jobs for once, it turns out to be something in line with their previous shit.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago

I have a Discord but I hear a lot about how easily you can get banned, largely on the whims of the people running a single server, so I've always been a bit reluctant to use it.

Also, I find it genuinely disturbing how much information all these companies have about you and your stuff.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

gosh, that makes me feel really nervous
