Are you a computer/tech person? (lemmy.world)

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?”

I like doing tech stuff as a hobby yeah. Don't remember why I signed up for Lemmy but I have been aware of it for years before I signed up. I think I wanted to have a place to talk about FOSS but also in a community that was generally aligned with my political views (hence my decision to sign up for lemmy.ml)

I like linux, had a stint as a webdev, I fly drones, and enjoy playing syrhesizers. Take from that what you will.

I'm a tech person and I still use reddit

I just answered on the other lemmy post (about are you on here 100%) but I'm not a tech person. I googled alternatives, plus I understood the benefits of federation so that's how I came to Lemmy.

Like most people on this site, I'm a happy consumer who rejects FOSS (McIBM is enough for me thank you), hates moderation (spicy pickles on icecream is my breakfast), and routinely walks the neighbourhood naked because I think privacy is for prudes. I'm only here as a spy for Reddit and routinely report all activity to Sir Zuckerberg since I hope to start a romantic endeavour with him one day...

...what kind of answers were you hoping to get?
