There was a guy in a discord chat I hang out in that never got any joke or reference because they were adamant about avoiding anything popular.

Ok... But now you can't join in on the conversation like 90% of the time because the rest of us are watching, playing and reading the same stuff and talking about it. Probably why I haven't seen him in the chat for months. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I feel that way sometimes, being here instead of on reddit.

I keep lamenting that Lemmy doesn't have any real action going on in specific video game communities like Reddit does, but it's not like I actually liked the discussions on Reddit because gamers on Reddit just seem to hate everything. Even the things they like.

Same here. Discord members posting teddit links and one person trying to grow a niche subreddit while I refuse to give Steve Huffman any more free human generated content.

I know a guy that loves not liking popular things more than anything else. He thinks that it makes him so cool. Realistically it just makes him kind of annoying and insufferable, since you can't have any normal conversations with him without him going off into some lecture about why XYZ is trash and why he doesn't like it. We get it dude, you're edgy. Congratulations, I guess.

I'm like this most of the time in public. Like, I've heard of that show or this movie but I rarely watch movies / shows on my own, I just don't find them appealing.

I could talk about most obscure videogames all day long though.
