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.

Hehe, the top one is slightly off for me, but uh... yeah, lemmy has like 20+ client apps ... so... lol

I'm not sure exactly which space characters are supposed to be used on 4Chan, but doing it here I tried two spaces and it was too far left, then three and it was too far right. I ended up with two regular non-breaking spaces and one thin non-breaking space, and that's as good as I can get it.

It looks almost right for me, on both the default web UI/Firefox/Linux and Voyager/Android.

>greentext in plain colour

It doesn't feel as satisfying. But yes, it's an option.

[–] LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I feel like it should be possible

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 8 points 2 days ago

It should, but I don't expect either Lemmy or PieFed to implement it. Because, like, the original role of greentext was quoting, and we already have quote blocks.
