I didn'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
Now we know you're lying about that.
Or do we? You might be poly.
both a wife and boyfriend
But where is the conflicting detail?
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.
