"God! Why the fuck is everyone on the Fediverse so WEIRD?"

Shut up. It's a feature. It is the best feature.

@Binder

We're not "weird".

We just use different parameters to define "normal".

@GustavinoBevilacqua @Binder I called myself weird until it became an insult to use against US-Republicans.

Now I am officially wyrde, which is even better.

Vader Abraham :Waarom zijn de smurfen klein?
Smurfen : Omdat jullie groter zijn

Father Abraham: Tell me why are Smurfs so small?
Smurfs: We're not small, but you are tall..

Funny, in German it is "Wir wollen gar nicht größer sein" We dont want to be any taller. IIRC

@daarin @GustavinoBevilacqua @Binder still fits in if you consider the Fediverse's attitude to the "growth at all costs" ethos of other social networks

@GustavinoBevilacqua @Binder There is no normal. There is just 2σ within in a specific dimensional plane of a 3D Gaussian distribution.

Mouthful? The reality is all humans are multi-dimemsional and it is rare for a person to fall within 2σ for all traits of human life. It is just that people want to define normal as adherence to a small number of traits such as heterosexual-cis + bigender world + average IQ + conservative religious.
