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 minor, so I can't have a job in tech, but I am really tech-savvy (I use NixOS and like to tweak every system I have)

Now that you mentioned it, I wonder how many kids are using Lemmy. What attracted you to be here?

Well, I used to use reddit, but you know what happened with it... So I switched to lemmy.

The first account I made was ultra980@lemmy.ml (and same username on lemmy.one as a backup), but then I switched to kbin. Now, after kbin is glitching out more than ever, I switched back to lemmy, but now on .world.

I'll also set up my own instance at some point, NixOS makes it possible with just a few lines in my config.
