Work on/build racecars. Some of it's very technical, but probably not the type you're asking about. Also a woman. I'm checking off all the abnormal demographics here. Right?

62 years old woman, semi-retired, only work part time now. I was in the travel business. Found Lemmy thru a Reddit comment a few months ago. Felt the need for a change. Currently with Lemmy, Kbin and Mastodon, trying to find my place.

Non tech background here. I work in a steel mill and see social media as entertainment. A time killer.

I'm a stay at home mom, no professional tech background. I came here to get away from Reddit. I am considered the "tech support" for my family and friends though. :-)

Non tech background (art education), but I do like a minor bit of tech tinkering and tweaking

Aiming to remain semi retired for as long as possible doing a couple of hours work a day...

The rest of the time? I have several art projects to occupy me, and now I've migrated over from reddit to here I have more time available for that.

I have also created a few art subs here that I'm hoping to set up properly soon, and see where they go

I work electrical maintenance in a hospital trust. We cover all sorts though.

I don't have any IT background if you mean that. I have a decent tech savvy and work in an engineering oriented field though.

I'm a biologist, but have always been fairly techy in my own time outside of my work. Definitely not much of a tech person though, I can't code or anything like that. Can troubleshoot most of my own technical issues though and built a PC.

I'm a substitute teacher, and definitely not technical but my husband is, and he introduced me to Reddit many years ago. It was fun but I only ever used it on the RIF app. When I saw what was happening last month, I read a thread that suggested Lemmy as an alternative so here I am.

I'm still in school lol. I am into computers, so idk if that counts

have a great day and be kind

oh wait this is a 2yo post... whatever lol

I'm an assembly line worker and have been for about five years now at different factories. Refrigerators, car parts, ag equipment, etc.

There's a job opening coming up at a plant that offers college benefits though, so hopefully I get to join y'all in tech in a few years. Hopefully working with so many robots and machines will give me an advantage through sheer osmosis lol

I'm a geographer and haven't been techie since it was considered technical to connect a VCR to a TV using RCA cables

Not technical at all, I work in Learning & Development at a company. I am always reading the comments and try to learn, but sometimes I have really no clue what you guys are talking about haha!

Yesterday someone was expleaning about adblocker and all the comments were like: "Yeah, who can live without it..." Well, me I guess? And I saw one that was highly recommended so I downloaded it, because why not try it out right? But apparently it's not for your phone. Or I didn't have the right app to support it on my phone.

I was thinking about asking it in the comments of the thread, but like you said: I think a lot of people here have a tech background and although everyone is very nice, I think the explanation might go over my head.

I don't want to give people the feeling I get when I'm trying to explain to my mom over the phone how she can e-mail a file on her computer. It can be very frustrating ;)

I'm a Substation Designer. Non tech for sure. I had to get a coworker to plug up my monitors, I tried to do it myself and failed miserably.
