Non tech background here. I work in a steel mill and see social media as entertainment. A time killer.

62 years old woman, semi-retired, only work part time now. I was in the travel business. Found Lemmy thru a Reddit comment a few months ago. Felt the need for a change. Currently with Lemmy, Kbin and Mastodon, trying to find my place.

Work on/build racecars. Some of it’s very technical, but probably not the type you’re asking about. Also a woman. I’m checking off all the abnormal demographics here. Right?

I’m a stay at home mom, no professional tech background. I came here to get away from Reddit. I am considered the “tech support” for my family and friends though. :-)

Arborist. No real tech background or skills but always been interested in tech trends and issues, so I keep up with those things more than the average person.

Non-tech Background. I work for a big union and migrated here from reddit, which was my only social media site I would use.

Stay at home wife. I used to work as a bookkeeper, now dealing with some health issues. However I am 55 and have used computers since as long as i can remember, I learned how to use punch cards in what you yanks would call middle school. So I don’t work in tech, but it doesn’t bother me to learn new things. Lemmy reminds me of the good old days of BBS and just trying things out to see what stuck.

Just a regular 'ol retail worker. I’m so glad Lemmy was here to save my lunch breaks from reddit.

I’m a massage therapist just blundering my way through this space…

I’m a substitute teacher, and definitely not technical but my husband is, and he introduced me to Reddit many years ago. It was fun but I only ever used it on the RIF app. When I saw what was happening last month, I read a thread that suggested Lemmy as an alternative so here I am.

I’m an assembly line worker and have been for about five years now at different factories. Refrigerators, car parts, ag equipment, etc.

There’s a job opening coming up at a plant that offers college benefits though, so hopefully I get to join y’all in tech in a few years. Hopefully working with so many robots and machines will give me an advantage through sheer osmosis lol

I’m a mom that works part time in accounts. Definitely not IT technical.

Here because Apollo and RIF have gone and I saw reddit posts directing me here. Might leave because 50% of the posts here are “reddit is shit” and I’m just not that interested in that circle jerk.

I’m a music teacher!

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.

I work in a bakery. I used to be a nurse. But my husband is in tech otherwise I wouldn’t know about Lemmy more than likely.
