To me, it seems like most of Lemmy consists of users who are older millennials (born at some point in the 80s), male, and about 50/50 split between living in North America or the EU.

Do you fit this demographic?

45 / male/ Montreal

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

I am female, so I guess I don't. As for my age and location, that's classified

I'm wondering what exactly people raising privacy concerns are worried about?

Even if I tell you my ASL, what can you do with that info?

I'm usually very privacy aware.

The big tech firms already have the information, it can also likely be brought on the dark web.

44/M/NZ BTW. Even if I tell you which small town I'm from, it doesn't get you to my doorstep.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Nope. I am reluctant in sharing the info. But i am not from 80s and i am neither from north america nor from eu .

I am a male though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

I'm a woman and I was born in the 1990s. I do live in North America though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Thank you but I was born in the 70s. Did you want to see a picture of the burnt orange shag rug in my childhood bedroom?

No, no, and yes.

Most maybe, but every other demographic is just valid a contributer to the conversation

I'm a 19-year-old female corvid that migrated to North Africa for better mate selection. I still managed to get a social security number in the US by showing up to the government offices piled on top of other crows in a trench coat and it is "315 34 5262". My bank account is filled with thousands of dollars in change stolen from people and can be accessed with the username "blackwings" and the password "neverdie111". Please don't use this information for any nefarious purposes. I need to feed my crow family.

Nah. I'm an 18-year-old male from Pakistan

Early 90s, male, North America

Too old to understand why you’re asking about American Sign Language

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Ha I thought for a second your age was in the 90's, but then I considered it more likely that you were born in the 1990's, right?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I am surprised that this post received so many genuine answers.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

80's, female, born in the US and now (thankfully) an AU citizen.

90s, non-binary and south america.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Close, but not quite. One thing I notice a lot around here (Lemmy/fediverse) that suggests many users are elder millennials or older, is the frequent use of 2 spaces after a period. I don't really notice as much of that in other online communities.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Put in the legwork to find me Mr alphabet soup man. I know you can do it, you're just being lazy.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Omg this is getting silly. Asklemmy really is just a user profiling feed.

Lemmings of Lemmy: What's your blood type and eyeglass prescription?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

AB positive. 20/20. Don't abuse that info pls.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Damn it actually works for some reason.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Older millennial American man, yes, you got me
