You heard it here first, Lemmy is where the normies hang out.
Lemmy: Linux fan boys who will hear no wrong. Also the gays
And furries.
And crabs.

Do you have a minute to talk about Linux? :)
Lemmy is 1000% not for normies. Not yet, anyway.
I'm not 100% sure what a normie even is, and I suspect there's a decent chance that makes me a normie.
And if yes.... we're heeeeeeeeerrrrre.
I don't want to gatekeep, but I'm really enjoying Lemmy without normies. It reminds me of the pre-2k internet. Nerds and weirdos just being themselves and celebrating each other's weirdness.
But how am I supposed to improve faking not being weird (for the outside world), if we all just let out the full weirdness here? ;)
It's a trap. It's all a fucking trap. Next thing you know you'll be working middle management somewhere and sipping Moscato with boring-ass friends and living vicariously through posts by people half your age on niche boards who dedicate their house to model trains or polyamory or have a ridiculous aquarium or listen to bands you've never heard of in a genre you love but now you can't listen to any more because god forbid your boss gets in your car and you autoplay something other than pop country or classic rock. Your kids'll do something and you're like "that's awesome" and you look over and your partner is frowning at you like "aren't you going to do something to stop this?"
Just fucking be weird. Normalcy is a fucking trap.
Uh... how are people doing this?
I was just trying to grab a wide cross-section of interests. I don't have any advice for combining them, but good luck!
Been there, done that. Only thing I learned is that everyone has their kind of issues, and upper + top management has too many psychos. So thanks, I'll take your advice and will just be weird :)
Lemmy isn't really microblogging though.
And tankies...
