    Similar but distinct. Much further left for one thing.

    Also, the average level of tech knowledge here is off the charts. Like I feel like a caveman and in my office I’m the one people to go through for help. Never felt like that on Reddit.

      fellow in-between, how can we describe ourselves? the one that everyone comes to for tech support (eg we know how to ctrl+v) but around actual programmers we just stare blankly.

      I tried to create an account on db0 and the application wanted to know my favortie OSS creator or something, I just told them i have no idea what that means but I’ll be nice. if we had a word for what we are, I’d have used that!

        We also asked for your favourite anarchist or pirate. We’re not just techie :)

        In case you didn’t know, OSS stands for Open Source Software, like Firefox, Linux, Lemmy etc ;)
