Electrician. I'm new here and looking for a good alternative to reddit since the whole 3rd party app thing.

I work in retail management lol! although I have spent p much my entire life around computers and am tech savvy :p

R.I.P RIF

Half I guess? Graduated in a non technical field but I ended up taking a lot of CS and math classes. But now I'm not really doing anything since I've been depressed since college. There's probably a lot of stuff I could do if I could get over the motivation hump.

HPC researcher but I suck, so am I partially technical?

Is telematican an heatpump-programmer a technical background?

Writer. Have some very basic tech knowledge but mainly just had enough of reddit's bullshit 🤷‍♂️ lemmy is pretty easy to understand imo, I don't know how the fuck you keep a server running but I'm glad that many people here do so I can just sign up and shitpost.

I work for an outsourced company representing a large search engine brand. The largest.

I am not on the tech end though. I handle partner relationships. Aka I am the company rep from a tech jugganaut, to people way more tech saavy than me.

I spend my days hoping I don't get caught out.

Don’t have a technical background per se.

I have a degree in music education, and work at a consulting firm doing non-programming-language-based data work.

Personally, though, I am a very technical person who loves science and math. I have a tinkerer’s mindset; I love taking things apart and understanding how they work, then putting it back together.

I’m semi tech related? Work in the graphic design industry. So I’m adjacent to some of the things here.

I’m a cinematographer and editor so I spend a lot of time working with tech but very specific stuff. I’m still on reddit for now. At least until Narwhal becomes prohibitive to use. Fuck Twitter and Threads.

I’m a bartender

I'm non tech, in a professional role. I just like computers.

Retired military at a young age working property maintenance at a storage facility part time to kill time.

Medical professional here. I am pretty tech savvy tho..

Lawyer here, but a lot of my interests are tech-adjacent.

I work in the office side of a distribution center. I’m far from technologically illiterate, but my knowledge drops off a cliff when I get outside my comfort zone. I know enough not to bother IT most of the time, so I count that as a win.

Reddit killing the 3rd party apps pissed me off a little bit, but their AMA about it really made me start looking for alternatives. So here I am!

Interesting question. I'm a software developer, but I just wanted to point out that reddit also started out very heavily skewed toward tech workers. The non tech people came quite a bit later for the most part. Even today from what I can tell, software developers are overrepresented on Reddit.

I'm an advertising copywriter. I don't use much tech on a day-to-day basis (I tend to write about deodorant, which is definitely on the lower-tech side) but I have some extremely limited coding in my background, and I like building PCs.

I'm a programmer but I don't think there is a high bar of entry here, maybe with so many options to choose from maybe

I'm a student, gonna start (undergrad) medical school this summer.

I’m an administrator so I work with MS Office but that is about it as far tech. I did dabble a bit in high school and college with some basic computer programming but that was ages ago and things have vastly changed since then.

I'm currently an attorney but in another life I worked help desk in the military.

I am not a geek.

Non tech. Designer.

I’m kinda like a handyman for a medical laboratory. Actually hard to define…from fixing doors to fixing medical equipment

I'm a CPA and not highly skilled in computer stuff. The fact that I managed to join Lemmy, set up Jerboa and actually participate means that almost anyone can do it
