who is on Lemmy (the sociology of Lemmy)
I dont know if this has been asked before or if this may be a little goofy of a question but I didn't see anything relating to it and I'm kinda curious what the culture of Lemmy is like and what sort of common things people see. ive been paying attention to interactions but nothing is as good as just asking everyone.

I'm an Aussie in my early-mid 30s. I've been living in the USA for the past 11 years. I've been a software developer, mostly focusing on web development, since the late 90s personally and since the mid 2000s professionally. I was an early Digg user, moved to Reddit during the Digg exodus, then moved to Lemmy during the Reddit exodus.
I believe that people on the internet should own their platform, for example run their own blog or e-commerce site, participate in decentralized services like Lemmy, etc. Opera Unite was something I found very interesting in terms of allowing people to easily run their own decentralized stuff, and I'm kinda sad it never took off. I self-host things like email and DNS.
I'm a big believer in open-source software and released my first piece of OSS in 2005.
I love listening to people that are passionate about something and get excited when talking about it. Doesn't really matter what it is or if it's a topic I'm interested in.
