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“.
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.
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.
