Who else does research on obscure social media platforms because they are fed up with mainstream surveillance capitalism social media.
Edit: If to be a nerd is to have a strong interest in something particular then everyone should be a nerd because having interests is awesome.
No.
Next question.
Quit bullying us!
Rude.
I'll take nerd as a complement.
I'm not. College dropout waitress married to an artschool dropout chef.
I don't believe you, you use Lemmy. You are at least somewhat nerd.
Ah, but I'm on the anarchist instance.
So you're reasoning that you're not a nerd is that you're an anarchist? I got some bad news for you...
Everyone is a nerd about something. That's how interests work in general: you only ever get called a nerd for being interested in something that others aren't interested in, but they're also interested in stuff you're not interested in, so..
I think you're mixing up "nerd" and "geek" here.
Eh, I see them as fairly interchangeable. There's some subtlety in the difference between them, but.
I'm the only one, sorry.
Weβre only nerds if we come out of the Silicon Valley region of California. Otherwise, we are just sparkling geeks.
I wanted to be a nerd but I can't even geek. I'm more of a dork.
Careful. That sounds like dweeb talk.
Who's asking?
a nerd. I'm just wondering because I'd like it know if any normal people are leaving Reddit to use Lemmy. doesn't look like it.
There were "normal" people on reddit?
Yes. That's why quality keeps declining there.
Ah, that makes so much sense.
yeah, there's a decent amount of people that use Reddit's popular subs that aren't terminally online.
pics or it didn't happen
My dad looks at Reddit for advice on fixing our washing machine. And I've got friends that use it as a slightly more text-based pinterest
Goodness, you're being very serious.
Yes, what was nerd is not nerd anymore
What was once nerd is nerd no longer, but as the wheel turns, what was nerd will be next once again.
I'm not a nerd. Nerds are smart.
they see me coming they go 'nerd alert! π¨'
j/k i got no friends i'm a nerd
no, all people here are 30-40 years old communist programmers from california
Neither a programmer nor from California. I'm a rare southern red
I'm only one of those things.
Unless you're the ontological projection of communism, you're at least two of those things.
...People? I would say that's too tautological, as the statement begins with "all people here are...", and necessarily all people here are people, otherwise they're not covered by the statement.
I'm not a programmer; at best I script.
I'm not 30-40 years old!
But I'm not from Cali!
