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.

I've found some of the more shit post focused communities to actually be useful (or at least I did back when i still used Reddit).
PrisonHooch had more helpful advice and recommendations than HomeBrewing; PoliticalCompassMemes actually allowed space for Leftists to debate the Far-Right; Cremposting was where you went to discuss your tinfoil hat theory's on the works of Brandon Sanderson; etc. (I know there was a dozen or so of these I used to lean into, but those are the three that immediately come to mind).
2westerneurope4u unironically has some of the most important and honest discussions among Europeans, because people don't need to worry that much about what they are writing. They have mastered less moderation, without becoming a hate filled cesspool.
Don't suppose they have a fediverse equivalent space?
Asking about it was literally my first post on here. It would probably be against the rules, because a big part of it is making fun of national stereotypes and it might look racist, if you didn't know what's going on. I recommend checking it out on reddit. I think you'll quickly realize why it would be a problem here and you also run the risk of people taking it literally and attracting the wrong crowd.
So found the Reddit reposting bot for it at !2westerneurope4u@lemmit.online (its just a not that reposts thing from Reddit).
!2westerneurope4u@reddthat.com looks more active. I'll take a peek at it this weekend.
Never ask 2westerneurope4u what they think about Sinti and Roma or eastern Europeans.
I don't think most of them have a problem with eastern europe (except russia maybe).
They are an ethnicity. To the extent that you can trace Romaní ancestry in people. They have multiple related languages across Europe. This isn't a lifestyle, it's an ethnicity.
It seems to be both: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itinerant_groups_in_Europe
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romani_people They are very explicitly an ethnic group associated with a lifestyle. Not just a lifestyle.
