I didn't join the fediverse to have my data harvested.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And it's just a best practice to never reveal personal details online.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

both a wife and boyfriend

But where is the conflicting detail?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Now we know you're lying about that.

Or do we? You might be poly.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I turned 42 last year and will turn 42 again in 3 years, finally reaching the ultimate answer.

old enough to remember that the format is a/s/l

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

19/f/Cali was my go to answer for that, even when I was 15 in the middle of nowhere in Alberta.

37? I don't think I've had my 38th yet. it's actually slightly difficult to remember my age at this point

For an apricot, I'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 I'm off to visit the Lonely Mountain again.
