Nothing more normie than tribalism.

Then go use Reddit if you want all the normies around. There's a site that already exists that meets your desires. I still use it for niche content, but there has been an undeniable increase in toxicity on Reddit as the user count has increased.

Typical down vote and smarmy useless comments. Feels like you want to go back home.

Using normie unironicaly, you never left home.

Your grandstanding is cringe. This is a forum, not a political movement. If you want normie content then go back to Reddit. When I want normie content I'll use TikTok.

You are very wise, unique, and superior.

Nope, I just don't want the place overrun by people who are mostly just around to flame and insult.

Pick up moderating a few large subreddits and you'll see what I mean. Even on a small sub like /r/Infiniti, I've seen a massive increase in people just being pricks, especially after a cross post. Smaller user base makes it less likely.

Like I said in another post, I don't like using the word normie because it's not actually descriptive of the behavior I'm talking about, but it's the word the thread is using.

Be the change you want to see, I guess.
