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 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.~~

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.
