I'm fairly non-nerdy, though I like reading fantasy and scifi.
But other than that, nope.

I'm on the border of nerd and geek
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.
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.

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

I'm not. College dropout waitress married to an artschool dropout chef.
I don't believe you, you use Lemmy. You are at least somewhat nerd.
Ah, but I'm on the anarchist instance.
So your reasoning that you're not a nerd is that you're an anarchist? I got some bad news for you...

We're early adopters. By definition: we're nerds.
I'm not a nerd. Nerds are smart.
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.
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.
But I'm not from Cali!

Iβd say I fit neatly in the Dork category. At least, thatβs what my imposter syndrome would have me believe.
No no, I am stupid too.

Closeted nerd reporting for duty
I wanted to be a nerd but I can't even geek. I'm more of a dork.
Careful. That sounds like dweeb talk.

No.
Next question.

j/k i got no friends i'm a nerd
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..
