    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.

      What was once nerd is nerd no longer, but as the wheel turns, what was nerd will be next once again.

    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…

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

            Let me explain you how the Red-Workers-Movement of 1922 in the Oblast-Utbackya had this structural issue in their organization by the theory of famous late 19th century analyst.

          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”.

              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.

    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.
