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?

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.
