Not a tech person. I'm a seamstress/tailor who will make you feel like the smartest person in the room when I ask questions about computers. Never knew so much about internet privacy before Lemmy, either. It's been eye-opening to learn about tech-stuff on Lemmy!
I left R×ddit out of spite, then found out youtubers made videos reading out my posts and said goodbye to it forever. It became a free content farm ripe for mishandling, astroturfing, and paid propaganda.
My stubborn ass will learn something beyond simple navigation because I'm always wanting to skirt injustice and do what little I can to not support rampant capitalism (I have no money!)
I mean.... I learned Blender. I'm capable of pretty much everything!
We're happy you're here! 😊
