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

Nah. I'm an 18-year-old male from Pakistan
Yes yes no

How has nobody memed this yet? You guys seem waaay too comfortable sharing personal information for the fact that this is the website of linux nerds, don't you care about online privacy?
I feel like an anonymous survey would be much more privacy respecting than everyone commenting with their demographics…
"Nice try... FBI"
We have the Venn overlap of people who want privacy and people who dislike enshittification. Then some join Lemmy.
⇒Nonresponse bias by people who scroll by and don't care to read other people's info or post their own. Huge sieve, these comments aren't even seen.
Then we have curious people who are probably curious about tech or tinkering or protecting themselves or more organic forums like Lemmy.
⇒Nonresponse bias by people who check this out by curiosity (e.g. comment/upvote ratio, are people really giving out their info or faking it with jokes?) but then they definitely choose to not comment. They et al. might upvote the above comment or not, and nope out.
We can't even get good Linux user demographics. A large survey sometime back said "Wayland was leading over Xorg, according to users who replied" -- obviously false, take a look at Indian corporate use of Ubuntu Desktop LTS, or the legacyness of X11.
Blah blah, 2.5/mitosis/deep sea geysers
Too old to understand why you’re asking about American Sign Language
420/Yes please/Your mother's bedroom
(I understand the curiosity, but come on now)
Most maybe, but every other demographic is just valid a contributer to the conversation
Be careful giving away personal information on Lemmy. It’s wildly difficult to ensure stuff is deleted or removed in the Fediverse across multiple servers.
It's better to provide aggregated data (South East Asia instead of saying Thailand)
80's, female, born in the US and now (thankfully) an AU citizen.

Omg this is getting silly. Asklemmy really is just a user profiling feed.
Lemmings of Lemmy: What's your blood type and eyeglass prescription?
AB positive. 20/20. Don't abuse that info pls.
Damn it actually works for some reason.
“[1-9]{2}\/[a-z]{4}\/[A-Z]{3}”
10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90 year olds are NOT welcome!
99/zyxw/ABC
Male, 90s, South Asia.
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?
No, no, and yes.
16 / M / Ireland
I always feel like a small child in the lemmy user base haha
38 / M / Canada/Spain
So I am a male, born in the eighties, split about 75/25 NA/EU.
Do I fit the demographic? You misunderstand...
I AM the demographic.
Millennial/dude/midwest
Ope.
Doncha know

Anonymous polling would be nice

You're a fish?
No this is Patrick
25 / F / Germany
I feel like there's a really good amount of Europeans around, but I might just imagine that because I browse new at the times when Europeans would be awake haha
I am surprised that this post received so many genuine answers.
90s, non-binary and south america.
Put in the legwork to find me Mr alphabet soup man. I know you can do it, you're just being lazy.
