I also read the comment about the racist uncle, it was a discussion of the different kind of people facebook (I won’t call it meta) will be going to expose us when they join the fediverse. The person who post it wasn’t attacking the “normies”.
About the term “normie” isn’t necessary an insult or just a person who isn’t up with technology, but instead someone who enjoy more basic things. Is OK to be a normie if that’s makes you happy.
I don’t get why is OK for them to call us “nerds” (most of the times in a not sarcastic manner) but not for is to call them “normies” (in a sarcastic manner).
Most of the times that we invite a “normie” to the fediverse they reject us, “I don’t like that”, “facebook is better”, " that’s for nerds" they say, and that happens also with music, books, even food, they are just comfortable with how things are and that’s OK.
It isn’t that we are gatekeeping, but instead that they don’t want to join us.
