Asklemmy

I'm a bit of a FOSS nerd and care about privacy, but I'm much more an art and design person than I am a technical person.

I use Linux, and I can write some very basic code after learning how in Highschool, but mostly I just like making pretty stuff. Especially anything to-do with UI/UX

Like someone else said, I'm a technical person compared to the average population, but not compared to Lemmy, or the FLOSS community. I left reddit when the api changes happened, and have found I really love the Fediverse and very strongly believe in what it represents

I'm a little of both, I joined for escaping the reddit blackout shutdown, but I stayed for the advantages of the fediverse. I grew up working with a lot of proprietary software, and I've had growing pains as I've grown bitter about proprietary software over time. I've been self hosting, working on migrating my machines to Linux, and trying to find workable alternatives to everything.

Edit: yes I'm quite techy, a DevSecOps/software engineer. I worked with Linux a long time through VMs and containers, but gaming and Adobe kept me from having a daily driver machine for more than a little while. I don't think I'll ever fully escape Windows because I'm a big .NET developer and work with a lot of legacy code, but I'm more than happy to leave that to a QEMU VM.

Yes. I've worked in tech ever since I was able to teach myself enough to hold a job amongst people with CS degrees. I hadn't been on Reddit for a lot of years up until six months before the exodus. I had no account and only consumed. Here feels worth submitting links and discussing things.

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

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'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.

People referring to themselves as huge Nerds or Geeks are usually the ones that would like to be, but simply aren't, while those rigidly fighting these labels are the real bad ones as I observed.

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?
