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.

I’m a biologist, but have always been fairly techy in my own time outside of my work. Definitely not much of a tech person though, I can’t code or anything like that. Can troubleshoot most of my own technical issues though and built a PC.
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
Non tech background here. I work in a steel mill and see social media as entertainment. A time killer.
Non-tech Background. I work for a big union and migrated here from reddit, which was my only social media site I would use.
I don’t know if I count but I’m a communications student. Information technology is somewhat related but this field isn’t pragmatic when it comes to that. I’m probably one of the few students here who’s interested in studying (alternative) media platforms over media content.
It’s rare to have dicussions on things like copyleft, privacy, open-source software, and decentralized communications platforms, all of which I genuinely believe are worthwhile topics in this field.
