I think most all of us here on Lemmy are people with technical background. Most of my professional contacts remained using Reddit, Twitter and even excited when Threads launched.
If you are non-tech background, please comment and share what you do for life.
If you have tech background, upvote this to help promote this post so that we can find more non-tech users on Lemmy.
Depends on what you mean by “background”. I’m an ex-lawyer (practiced for a couple years, but hated it, doing other law-related things), but I’m an old school geek that was using the internet in the late 80s, building my own boxes in the 90s, etc. I’m also a woman.
I like the fediverse because it reminds me of the free-wheeling, anarchical days of the interbutts in the early 90s with IRC (EFnet only, mind), usenet, etc., before Endless September.
I was assuming that tech background is someone that can work around IT things, such as even building your own PC or setup own Plex. You don’t necessarily need to know how to code to be considered a tech person.
But as we can see in the comments, some people don’t think they are tech person or tech savvy enough while have some IT / technical knowledge.
