Ironically this post makes me think you are less of a nerd as it has LLM fingerprints all over it. A real nerd would have compiled their satircal study by hand.

Google's Deep Research AI produces similar output. I'm not saying the user definitely did that, I'm saying they could have used AI for that.

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.

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

absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz · 3 pts · 1y

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.

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.

fullsquare@awful.systems · 2 pts · 1y (1 reply)

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)

257m@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 1y

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?

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..
