Looking at the comments, it occurs to me that we're not a representative section of the online community.

Were literally people who went out of their way to not use a conventional/commercial tech product.

I wonder what the % of people on here is who have built a pc, used a raspberry pi or installed Linux compared to the outside world.

Considering linux, self hosting and open source gets mentioned in every community here... I'd say it's a significant amount

A big reason I use Lemmy is because I like all the FOSS discussion lmao.
