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 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 work in IT at the moment, but I don’t consider myself as having a technical background. I did have a lot of programming subjects in high school and college, but I did end up in a non-IT, but (sort of) IT-adjacent course in university (but ended up not finishing it because of mental health issues).
Maybe I should own up to my technical background? I am also the go-to guy for IT (mostly networking) problems among my family and neighbors. But then again, I use PHP for most of my work.

Not technical, but always interested in technical advances.
