Wasn't he quoting somebody else here?

[–] ziggurat@lemmy.world 29 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No, green text is used to strawman the comment you are replying to

Or tell a story about what sopposedlh happened to you

Rarely used to quote someone

I see. However, there's no > in the Russian layout. So they'd have to switch to English, type >, switch back to Russian, type и, and then switch again to English to continue typing the post. That'd be strange to say the least.

On 4chan, if you reply to a post it puts the > in for you. He just deleted what was there and typed in something else.

At least I think that's how it works. I could be wrong, since I haven't set foot in 4chan in like a decade.

The other reply is wrong. If you have part of a post highlighted when you click its post number to reply, it will automatically put the highlighted text in front of the meme arrow. The image is definitely implying that the person they were replying to accidentally used a Cyrillic character.

Yes, but the cowbell already rang.
