I’m a huge nerd, so the reason I joined Lemmy is because I was looking for a social media platform that conforms with my views on FOSS, moderation, and internet privacy. I would assume many other people are in the same boat, but is that accurate? Who’s just here because they looked up “Reddit alternatives?”
That is true but doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a tech person. I don’t consider myself one, in fact I come here for help when I have questions or issues. I do appreciate foss and privacy but I’m not hardcore on either. I’ve certainly known a lot of people with even less understanding than me about tech, but I don’t think I qualify as a tech myself and I believe there are many others here in a similar situation as me
