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.

I mean, making a post about hating on Reddit, on Lemmy, is pretty circlejerky too at this point.

There's a key difference, at least when it comes to hating Reddit.

Most [all?] users here have actual, informed reasons to hate Reddit, from past experiences with the site. They aren't simply joining some bandwagon due to social expectations to bend to the crowd.

Yes, it is. I don't disagree with thetreesaysbark and you on that.

However I think that a circlejerk formed by similar-minded individuals gathering into the same place is far, far more benign than your "typical" circlejerk revolving around social pressure.

Also, let us [humans in general] not fool ourselves into believing that circlejerks are avoidable. Humanity boils down to "circlejerking hairless chimps" anyway.
