I keep seeing people comment that Lemmy is mostly men in their 20s and 30s. That's not my demo and many of the posts/comments i see don't seem to fit that.

I'm not as techy as the stereotype seems to portray, but otherwise, yeah, I'm a white guy in my 30's.

I'm a 40-something lawyer by training with an English degree, but I guess I like enough nerdy stuff and hung out with enough engineers and coders that I am not too far off from the expected.

I thought i was non-techy but in my office I'm one of two people who can add a printer, so i guess it's all relative.

Same, I'm not really technical at all but because I can use formulas in Excel I'm Gandalf.
