They’re not quoting. It’s just how stuff is written there

E: Found the thread, yeah not quoting, just greentext.

Jokes and stories are often written that way there. Greentext. 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.
