Rant: I hate the term “normie”.

Let me preface by saying, I would love to hear counter points and am fully open to the fact that I could be wrong and totally out of touch. I just want to have some dialogue around something that’s been bothering me in the fediverse....

Or…

“Normie” shows a hint of self awareness that the people on this platform aren’t representative of the general public. Were a bunch of tech weirdos.

We’re the “abnormies”.

I guess that’s something I didn’t consider. I kind of feel like that is still creating an us vs them mentality though…

But that’s pretty much what a group of people is? The people who are inside the group and those that are outside. What is the problem with this?

This is absolutely not how you approaching communities. They literally said it creates an Us vs them mentality and you claim that as a positive? Groups are not about us vs them. At all. Nor is it how you build communities. That's how you create echo chambers and cliques and lead to your own downfall as a community.
