I’m a bona fide alpha male. Imagine Joe Rogan but more buff and with additional BDE. When I talk everyone listens. I was the star of every sports team I’ve been part of. I can lift a motocycle above my head and then ride off into the sunset on it.
Usually posting fit-pics on insta but I accidentally clicked a link and ended up here.

I’m not smart enough to be a nerd.
Yea I’m just weird
Nerd does not imply smart
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
I don’t read enough to consider myself a nerd; I’m kind of ignorant. But… I do like nerd topics.
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?
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.
Yes. That’s why quality keeps declining there.
Ah, that makes so much sense.
I’m not a nerd! I’ve had sex!! with a girl!!! once…
Did it cost much?
Ouch 😷
I’m a dork. Huge difference. Nerds at least know things.
I’m only half a nerd.
I say that about being gay.
Which half is gay, top or bottom?
I’m shaken, not stirred.
The front part is gay the back part is straight

Imposter syndrome ❤️
No no, I am stupid too.
That’s the Grey area outside all the circles
That’s an intelligent analysis of yourself, a supporting evidence that you fit in the nerd category.

I am a hollow circle around the nerd core.
I don’t fit in any category :DOh shit, I really am a dork.
We’re early adopters. By definition: we’re nerds.
I’m not.
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 a political nerd lol
With politics, I think the term you want is “wonk”.
Not necessarily, a wonk (e.g. a policy wonk) is not analytically intelligent but may be emotionally intelligent.
A nerd and a wonk may have the same area of interest, but different approaches.
I’m on a piracy instance and I dont pirate.
Well, anymore. Should really update my music library instead of streaming it.
lol anarchists can be nerds
Let me explain you how the Red-Workers-Movement of 1922 in the Oblast-Utbackya had this structural issue in their organization by the theory of famous late 19th century analyst.
Liked and subscribed
So your reasoning that you’re not a nerd is that you’re an anarchist? I got some bad news for you…
Oh no, I’m hella rad.
no, all people here are 30-40 years old communist programmers from california
Not old, not communist and I am from Canada. I am only sort of a programmer. Only do it as a hobby and my job is only tangentially related to it.
I am stuck in the yall zone

Neither a programmer nor from California. I’m a rare southern red
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)
Yeah I came here because of the reddit exodus but stayed for the linux. I just need something to scroll through when I am bored and my rss feed isn’t interesting me. As a young person its weird everybody here is old. I am 17 and would’ve thought more of the youth would be interested in alternative social media platforms. Aren’t young people supposed to be the ones who do things contradictory to the status quo?
I’m the only one, sorry.
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.
The search for a discord replacement will be a challenge.
