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?

That demo also covers the Linux and "libre" media enjoyers userbase 🤣

I feel attacked!

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.

90s, non-binary and south america.

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

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

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.

[–] Corno@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

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

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 1 points 5 months ago

Older millennial American man, yes, you got me

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

No, no, and yes.
