    Isnt that how all social media sites start out. Starts with nerd culture and eventually other people come in later?

      Exactly my thoughts. Back in the day when I joined the Instagram in the first month of launch there were only professional photographers posting some great stuff, it was fun until celebs and general public started using it.

        Those darn celebrities, always ruining people’s fun on social media.

        I wonder when one of them is going to show up on Lemmy…

            Of course I am.

            Would esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress (and producer) Margot Robbie ever lie to you on the internet?

          Honestly, this schtick is so tired and played out. I don’t believe you are who you claim to be, and even if you are, so fucking what? Big fucking deal. Its honestly pathetic if you really are her constantly going “hey look, it’s me!”. And if you’re not her, why are you running around the internet cosplaying it?

          You seem mentally ill and everyone needs to stop enabling your delusions.

        So normies are the original enshittifiers, then corporations come in. I knew it, I should have stayed a shut-in.

          If the response from The City of San Diego to Tom Cruise visiting is any indication, they seem to be allergic to people experiencing homelessness. Invite more people experiencing homelessness to keep them out?

      Starts with nerd culture

      In a nutshell, this is the perfect social media for me!

      That’s how social media was invented. I remember when computers were things that only geeks and nerds were into. And then Neverending September happened, and suddenly normies were everywhere on the internet. We create something new to congregate, and they just invite themselves in after we make it popular. MySpace, Facebook, Reddit…even IRC and Geocities were taken over by them. We eventually took back Usenet at least, but only because it stopped being free for most people.

        I use usenet for media only. Are there still communities active via usenet?
