    Is a green text actually a 4chan screen?

    Or is it a distinct meme template to tell stories in ab engaging way that just happened to originate on 4chan?

    Especially when the content literally never existed on 4chan, it looks like it but isnt.

    I ask this with some rhetoric. We did click the content. Would it have been equally enjoyable as a twitter post: “after 6 years of living in the dark i discovered my light is dimmable, fuck me”?

        I am in agreement but also doubt.

        With the name and look, new users will still be looking for the old name.

        It also asks the question if we can post new format content under the old name and communities, tags? That probably depends on the community.

        Basically it calls for sitting around the table to discuss what a green text is and what it is not. Are we really organized enough for this?

            Pictures get way more engagement than text posts though. Platforms and app feeds are heavily biased to show thumbnails.

            Just a bit of css also wont retain its meme if people want to copy it.

            To make it an easily sharable meme of which text color cannot be altered. It must be a picture of green quoted text.

            I would also kinda argue the picture within often does add something, provides a sliver of information about the speakers personality. Sometimes “Picture unrelated” ads to humor.

            The pattern of where that picture is in relation to the text helps the pattern recognition of “this is a greentext” again.

            Basically just cut off the top line and we’re good.
