How many Lemmy users are non-technical background? (self.asklemmy)

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.

Graduated with a criminology degree, do work with vocational rehab and have done random stints of juvenile services. I don't have a tech background, but definitely have an interest in tech stuff, I'd say easily moreso than the average citizen.

But like, I've tried to learn HTML and I couldn't get past the first few Khan Academy lessons lol. The logic it used just didn't jive with my brain.

Yeah, coding is not for everyone. You can't force it.
