How many Lemmy users are non-technical background? (programming.dev)

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.

I don't have a tech background, currently doing museum security, that's all. Super enjoyable work. This community is nice, I only lurked in reddit.

Gotta be a little stressful when rambunctious kids are near fragile exhibits. 😝

It's ok, kids actually behave better than some adults. 🎩

Ain’t that the truth (I’m a former cop).

Former but I'm sure always one at heart. 🎩 Museum security is probably one of the best places I ever got on my job, before I did [redacted] security... [Redacted], and praying to lord that shit wouldn't hit the fan on my shift. 😖 I seriously love my job rn. It's slow when there are no schools, I get to actually learn a lot on the job (because tours) and polish my English while getting paid. 😉 Anyway have my utmost best regards. 🎩 Edit: Redacted some stuff for privacy sake.

Trust me, with all the bots and paid shills on reddit, we all were and I guess still are just lurkers.

Gotta admit I commented more in a few days here, than I ever did in years of reddit, but yeah mostly lurking.
