How old are you? - Lemmy.world

Just curious as to what is the average age here. Iโ€™m 27 myself.

I didnโ€™t join the fediverse to have my data harvested.
And it's just a best practice to never reveal personal details online.
It's even better to lie once in a while. Bonus: lie about the same thing multiple times with conflicting details. My online presence in other spaces mention both a wife and boyfriend back-to-back lol

both a wife and boyfriend

But where is the conflicting detail?

Now we know youโ€™re lying about that.

Or do we? You might be poly.

Do you actually have your Lemmy account set up in a way that knowing your age would actually provide any amount of useful data to anyone?

Not at the moment.

But as an account ages, you might leak more and more info about yourself, (e.g. IP addresses, interests based on what you post about, etc). If you then add on a personal detail like age, someone with bad intentions might be able to narrow down who you might be.

42, the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything
I turned 42 last year and will turn 42 again in 3 years, finally reaching the ultimate answer.
age is a construct
Time is a figment of your imagination, lunchtime doubly so. (as is age)
I celebrated six decades in this planet last Wednesday.
37? I don't think I've had my 38th yet. it's actually slightly difficult to remember my age at this point
Oh me? 20, or am I?
  • Nice to see a lack of teenagers in the comments.
  • laughs in 18 years old
    For an apricot, Iโ€™m old. For a head of lettuce, even more so. For a mountain, I have not even begun in years. For a man, I am just right.
    Just celebrated my 111th birthday. Now Iโ€™m off to visit the Lonely Mountain again.
    Not a thought provoking question. Locking.
