When I post on Lemmy/Reddit/etc, it’s usually not to the OP, but for everyone else reading the same post later.
So if I’m saying something like, “if you’re struggling to pay for a $10 pizza, you could use the charity,” it’s not really for the OP, but for anyone in a similar situation who happens across the post, whether now or a year from now. Having a pocketful of change isn’t a “normal” thing for someone who is financially stable, and if that’s you (i.e. the point where a quarter matters), then you should accept the charity.
Even a greentext has a sliver of truth to it, and I’m interested in discussing that truth that may apply to others.
I find it interesting that we answer to the green texts like if we were on 4chan. When there are very few chances tha OP reads the actual messages
Sometimes Anon says or does something so ridiculous that we just have to respond to it out of sheer frustration or disbelief.
