Comment on buddy of mine is in a horrible mood
nesc@lemmy.cafe 6 days agoIn one way or another you aee .01% of population, e.g. someone is from austria, electrician speaks german and english and italian, goes to church and part of the chorus, their partner is from italy, and they like mountain bikes. How many people like this in the world? How exactly using lemmy is less normal then using another less popular forum?

In that example, you’ve already described several thing that are unique or peculiar, albeit more common than using a website fueled by spite for the modern internet.

So you wouldn’t consider someone from example a regular person? I think there is nothing exactly special about visiting another forum.

They’re an electrician, trilingual, and active. They’re definitely peculiar, and several guesses can be made about them and their history. None of it seems antagonistic against society or modern trends, but they’re a particular sort. Human heuristics are fun. Unless they’re used for bigotry. They’re often used for bigotry. But not here, currently, or especially by me.

People that are considered ‘not normal’ almost always have to be excellent in one way or another or be unacceptable in society for some reason, I’m just saying that ‘not normal’ is reserved for exceptional individuals, my neighbour is probably unique but ‘normal’. In case of 4chan and other forums like that, absolute majority of their visitors are ‘normal’ as well.
