How many Lemmy users are non-technical background? (programming.dev)

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.

Man I'm so glad that zoomers understand the difference between sex and gender, and are doing away with this, "boys do this, and girls do that!" bullshit.

Like, oh yeah, do you know a lot of girls who are, in your mind, uncharacteristically smart? That right? That's not condescending in any way.

I don't know anyone who would say "uncharacteristically smart" like that. Sounds very offensive.

[–] prole@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I agree. Maybe you shouldn't imply it then.

[–] mrmanager@lemmy.today 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I didn't. Maybe you shouldn't read things that aren't there.

[–] prole@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe you're just oblivious, but that's exactly what you implied. That "girls" "outsmarting boys" is something novel to you.

I'm amazed you are reading that into what I said. Seems more likely you want to pick a fight with someone. But I have no interest in that, so let's just stop here. :)
