How many Lemmy users are non-technical background?

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.

Cross,

Union ironworker, mainly do heavy rigging and crane work. Not tech related at all, but I’ve helped build data c enters all over the US

chairman,

Very technical. Technically, I build chairs!!

Makeshift,

Factory worker. Not tech illiterate but also not exactly an expert in any respect.

Have been abnormal though, Internet-wise. I only have a twitter to post crap from Switch to lazily import screenshots to computer. When Facebook asked for my real name I said fuck you and never looked back.

Reddit was the only social media that I actually used as social media.

Dubious_Fart,

I fix (flatpanel) TVs as a side hustle, but I wouldnt call that technical since 90% of the time, its just a blown capacitor on the backlight power rail. 6% of the time, its a blown backlight itself, and the remaining 4% of the time its something else that usually requires in my personal experience, for me and my limited skills (Which is mostly just common sense and internet searching, no actual practical skill besides knowing how to solder), to either pass or part shotgun it, depending.

well, i’ve gotten a few broken screens, but those arent fixable, so i dont really count those.

mostly I’m just a gamer, and any technical skill I learn is because i’m forced to to unfuck something with my linux install, heh.

Uno,

Pre-Med student here. Just ya average non-average queer neurodivergent zoomer. I’m not from a tech background, but I do use Linux, which basically makes me a programmer 😎

Political scientist checking in, but I'm doing statistics in R and installed Linux for the first time before I hit puberty, so I guess I'm not entirely non-technical.

Am here both out of an interest for open source and because I consider centralized social media platforms to be dangerous for society, so it seems worthwhile to help fight them. I'm also pushing 30, so I'm nostalgic to the days of yore of independent forums.

sweeterevenge,

non tech, i currently am not working but i have a bachelor’s degree in paleontology and am currently studying for my master’s in museum studies. my partner is a programmer but i’m the one that introduced her to lemmy

crystalshower,

I’m a music composer and currently learning deep learning to help me compose music and arrange it. I don’t know if I should consider myself as a non-tech person or not.

I’m non tech.

I just work as essentially an administrative assistant in a real estate-esque office making $20 an hour.

Just a married woman in her 20s who is sick of Reddit’s shit.

Am just a poor peasent fastfood worker lol, I joined Lemmy because I was looking for reddits alts and I saw some people saying “don’t try to understand it too much just sign up” so I did.

I don’t have any job, since I’m disabled and just live off government disability benefits. For hobbies though, I still don’t get much into anything tech related. I do cooking and sometimes attempt writing. Unless tinkering with Linux a tiny bit sometimes counts as tech.

Non tech, I currently work in municipal water but previous to that was municipal sewer.

I also saw in this thread I’m not the only woman working on a racecar! Hell yeah

Bristlecone,

Nurse ova here

Bkr1221,

I do not have a tech background. I am a baker in my mid 30’s. I became sick of reddits shit, and once RIF was gone I was done.

I really like Lemmy, even though I admit it is a bit confusing at times, but I’ve gotten the jist of it I think.
