I don’t think that’s true on a site like Lemmy, where you have a -lot- of hardcore techies interacting with non-techies and encouraging them to learn. And also just non-techies constantly exposed to info about tech. There’s so much tech stuff here it’s impossible to avoid.

As a direct result of being on Lemmy, I’m familiar with rust (vaguely, but I know there are projects to re-code stuff in rust, and that it’s supposed to be a more robust language for… reasons), and care enough to read about it when there are posts I can understand about it (my tech level is sort of.. on the low end of intermediate) but I don’t know anything about how web browsers work, because it’s just never come up.
