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 am surprised that this post received so many genuine answers.

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.

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

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.

That demo also covers the Linux and "libre" media enjoyers userbase ๐Ÿคฃ

I feel attacked!

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?

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.
