Someone calling you a 'Normie' has the same energy as "I'm not like other girls, Im quirky"                    Change mind

Strong disagree. We just left the place overrun with „normies“ and one of the reason they stay and go on using reddit with their vanilla apple devices while sipping a moccachino at starbucks is because they‘re basic and boring.

Edit: Okay, since we don’t all have the same humor, I‘d like to spoil that this was not a serious comment. I just don’t think calling Someone a normie is different than „nerd“.

Well, you‘re also allowed to come here. Is the frontend polished enough for you?

Reas this again like someone else wrote it. It's condescending and patronizing. You're not better than these people you judge.

I guess you missed out on the conversation a week or so ago about how ridiculous elitist folks who use the term "normies" sound and how it's inherently not aligned with the idea of the fediverse. But sure, you do you.

.... this post isn't a joke is it? This situation really is that deep to you isn't it?

We're calling Redditors normies while Redditors call Twitter and Instagram users normies. "Everyone is a normie but me!" lol

While twitter and insta users call facebook users normies which call people who actually go outside normies. We‘re being called normies by coders and they are called normies by hackers the likes of anonymous. The never ending normieception.

Does the cycle begin and end with the likes of folks like Linus Torvalds actually enjoying nature as a hobby?

Would make sense! :)
