    I’m fairly non-nerdy, though I like reading fantasy and scifi.

    But other than that, nope.

    We’re only nerds if we come out of the Silicon Valley region of California. Otherwise, we are just sparkling geeks.

    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 early adopters. By definition: we’re nerds.

      I don’t believe you, you use Lemmy. You are at least somewhat nerd.

          So your reasoning that you’re not a nerd is that you’re an anarchist? I got some bad news for you…

            With politics, I think the term you want is “wonk”.

    I’d say I fit neatly in the Dork category. At least, that’s what my imposter syndrome would have me believe.

      That’s an intelligent analysis of yourself, a supporting evidence that you fit in the nerd category.

    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.

    Everyone is a nerd about something. That’s how interests work in general: you only ever get called a nerd for being interested in something that others aren’t interested in, but they’re also interested in stuff you’re not interested in, so…

      I think you’re mixing up “nerd” and “geek” here.

        Eh, I see them as fairly interchangeable. There’s some subtlety in the difference between them, but.
