    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.

    We’re only nerds if we come out of the Silicon Valley region of California. Otherwise, we are just sparkling geeks.

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

      That’s an intelligent analysis of yourself, a supporting evidence that you fit in the nerd category.

    I don’t read enough to consider myself a nerd; I’m kind of ignorant. But… I do like nerd topics.

            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.

          So your reasoning that you’re not a nerd is that you’re an anarchist? I got some bad news for you…

            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.

    I’m writing a book on adaptations. I wouldn’t consider myself a nerd, but writing a book about adapting works from one medium to another is very nerdy.

    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…

      I think you’re mixing up “nerd” and “geek” here.

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