tfw you’ve made yourself look like an idiot
It’s just the way things are written there. Actual quote and that greentext form of writing just use the same > arrow thingy. You see it here too sometimes.
I think there’s something fun about writing it like that. Reminds me of IRC.

I was using 4chan in 2008. You don't need to explain greentext to me. But that's not a greentext story, it's a reply that quotes someone else's post, which is why it has a comment ID number.

I went and found the thread for us, it’s just greentext, no quoting, it’s the second message and just clowning on Lemmy

That’s some dedication! Okay. I’ll accept I am incompetent.

I was starting to doubt myself so I had to check, haha.

It’s not a comment ID number, it’s saying there’s basically “a gazillion instances”. It’s making a joke about Lemmy but just in greentext.
