I already did
Is this a Futurama reference?
Yes!
Excellent! I like it.
I don’t read enough to consider myself a nerd; I’m kind of ignorant. But… I do like nerd topics.
Noo…
Not only. There are also some communists and furries.
I’d say I fit neatly in the Dork category. At least, that’s what my imposter syndrome would have me believe.
I am a hollow circle around the nerd core.
I don’t fit in any category :DImposter syndrome ❤️
No no, I am stupid too.
That’s an intelligent analysis of yourself, a supporting evidence that you fit in the nerd category.
Gemini likes to tell me that I’m good in the emotional intelligence area. Haha.
I’m writing a book on adaptations. I wouldn’t consider myself a nerd, but writing a book about adapting works from one medium to another is very nerdy.
I’m not smart enough to be a nerd.
Yea I’m just weird
no, all people here are 30-40 years old communist programmers from california
slightly more seriously: lots of lemmy users came from reddit, but mostly from older demographic (because of old reddit phaseout) and more FOSS-oriented, privacy-aware, tech-literate part (because of API shitshow/alternative apps blockage). there’s some barrier to entry (choice of instance) that would filter off the least technical users. there are some prominent programming oriented fedi servers (programming.dev, infosec.exchange). lemmy in general seems to be more lefty than reddit, less americacentric, and i guess that over half are linux users. i suspect that because of combination of technical skill and older age (compared to reddit) lots of lemmitors have well paying technical jobs (again compared to reddit) which allows/requires them to live in nicer parts of their countries (not specifically cali)
hey now.
Hold up…I mean, yeah. Okay.
I’m not a programmer; at best I script.
But I’m not from Cali!
I’m not 30-40 years old!
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.
they see me coming they go ‘nerd alert! 🚨’
j/k i got no friends i’m a nerd
I’m not a nerd. Nerds are smart.
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 similar stuff. And I’ve got friends that use it as a slightly more text-based pinterest
Goodness, you’re being very serious.
Na :3
Of course not! There’s no furry nerds!
Never met a furry that wasn’t a nerd tbh x3
Iiiiii certainly amn’t!
DO NOT OBSERVE MY HISTORY TRUST ME I AM NOT
Sodium to you as well, fellow nerd.
we’re on a niche open source reddit alternative built by communists, written in rust, with multiple sizable linux communities
Good point. We’re a bunch of badasses.
– lemmy at its core
