A steady stream of beans memes over on lemmy.world, interesting timing.
Since this wasn’t clear enough before, the term “normie” is the term chosen by the Dev of Tesseract. In their own words:

To be blunt: Tesseract is designed to attract and retain normies.
Scare quotes exist for a reason, by not using it in the meme you’ve contributed to their rhetoric
I guess philosophically, what even is a normie? Can someone who ditches the big popular platforms for this little nuthouse ever really be one?
In the case of that linked post I just trudged through, seems to mean anyone privileged enough to not be fed up with the world in its current state. Aka liberals? Only thing he got right was being pissed at tankies.
Sorry, to be clear, I’m using the devs own terminology, and this blocklist they made is ideologically related to what they think “normie” interests are.

yeah this theory doesn’t really make sense to me
edit: this seems to be the first post from this ‘round’ of beanposting https://sh.itjust.works/post/64005127
idk about philosophically, but historically it’s a term used by terminally online racist 4chan users to describe people who don’t subscribe to their lifestyle. I’ve always disliked that it became a popular term because I always have that origin in mind.
Yes, but before 2000 it was used sparsely and in a dramatically different context than today. I suggest reading the Wikipedia page for “Normie (slang)”.
to put it more politely:
it started being used online in the early 2000s to describe an “outgroup”. 4chan was using it basically the same way as everyone else, except their ingroup is racist.
even the wikipedia says as much. the disabled groups and the alcoholics used it to describe an outgroup.
4chan did not invent the term. they just used it like everyone else did.
Nah. People revived beans exactly because it’s on the list.
(But then, what isn’t? Crossposting, for example is there too.)
Normie’s are just lemmy world and lemmy ml peeps, no?
btw, hello dear lemmy world and lemmy ml peeps reading this. theres plenty cool of y’all. but also oh god also plenty who barely interact on 196 and then say some transphobic stuff and get in arguments with everyone.

Imo the guy’ll have to add “beans” to his block list because, to me at least, it’s now synonymous with tesserekt.
it’s now synonymous with tesseract
not really tbh, !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world tends to just post beans any time the sub is too focused on one topic for too long. Last time it was politics that people got tired of.
I just ignore the beans and post like normal
edit: technically it was corn last time and not beans but essentially the same thing lol
I can say whatever I like in this comment because you can’t read it
