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.

Yeah, I agree. I'm a programmer, and I too would also expect the majority of people using decentralized platforms have a technical background.

I don’t have a specific job, I do administrative work, customer service, worked in a few shops… I would love to work in tech but I’m not an expert, just passionate about it! I tried to follow an online course but I need a real teacher and where I live there aren’t many opportunities unless you go to university

I don't have much technical background, but wanted to share somewhere that... last month, some news apps on my Android 13 phone stopped loading; most importantly, Germany's Deutsche Welle, but also another public broadcasters'apps from Germany, and to a lesser degree the British BBC. I live and I'm from the country south of the border of the US, and my ISP used to be the dominant one (not anymore).

Checked if the apps would run fine on my phone's network, not the landline ISP. They did. They also ran smooth with a VPN, an integrated proxy, and finally, with another ISP, after I cancelled with the previous one. So, I guess it may have been the dominant ISP. Other news apps and anything else ran fine.

Are you used to these things happening every once in a while and I shouldn't make a big deal of it?

Best wishes

I'm associate director at an academic think tank. But I've always been interested in technology and have recently decided that i want to pivot to cybersecurity. I've got a long road ahead of me so here i am!
