I’m not smart enough to be a nerd.
Yea I’m just weird
Nerd does not imply smart
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.

we’re on a niche open source reddit alternative built by communists, written in rust, with multiple sizable linux communities
– lemmy at its core
Good point. We’re a bunch of badasses.

Closeted nerd reporting for duty
No, I am a geek.
We’re early adopters. By definition: we’re nerds.
Not me I’m cool 😎

Oh shit, I really am a dork.
No no, I am stupid too.
That’s the Grey area outside all the circles
I am a hollow circle around the nerd core.
I don’t fit in any category :DThat’s an intelligent analysis of yourself, a supporting evidence that you fit in the nerd category.

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.

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.
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?
Neither a programmer nor from California. I’m a rare southern red
I am stuck in the yall zone

But I’m not from Cali!
hey now.
I’m not a programmer; at best I script.
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.
Hold up…I mean, yeah. Okay.
I’m not 30-40 years old!
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?
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.
