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.

I’m an art school student who writes creative fiction and messes around with old electronics, so I wouldn’t really say I have a technical background. Work-wise I’ve mostly just done art/editing commissions or taught at studios. I’m just kind of tired of mainstream social media so I’m taking refuge in the Fediverse, and I’m liking it a lot so far

I stopped doing the computering until around 2006 or so. At that point I was tired of slapping keys like some kind of psychology experiment bunny slapping the paddle in the cage when the light went off and on and off and on for them to spit up a food pellet.

I work electrical maintenance in a hospital trust. We cover all sorts though.

I don't have any IT background if you mean that. I have a decent tech savvy and work in an engineering oriented field though.
