Are you a computer/tech person? (self.asklemmy)

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'm techie enough to be interested in federated social media networks. I'm techie enough to start using Linux. Ain't that enough techie?

Never had a calculator watch, let alone a collection of broken ones.
