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’m a 19-year-old female corvid that migrated to North Africa for better mate selection. I still managed to get a social security number in the US by showing up to the government offices piled on top of other crows in a trench coat and it is “315 34 5262”. My bank account is filled with thousands of dollars in change stolen from people and can be accessed with the username “blackwings” and the password “neverdie111”. Please don’t use this information for any nefarious purposes. I need to feed my crow family.

I feel like an anonymous survey would be much more privacy respecting than everyone commenting with their demographics…
“Nice try… FBI”
We have the Venn overlap of people who want privacy and people who dislike enshittification. Then some join Lemmy.
⇒Nonresponse bias by people who scroll by and don’t care to read other people’s info or post their own. Huge sieve, these comments aren’t even seen.
Then we have curious people who are probably curious about tech or tinkering or protecting themselves or more organic forums like Lemmy.
⇒Nonresponse bias by people who check this out by curiosity (e.g. comment/upvote ratio, are people really giving out their info or faking it with jokes?) but then they definitely choose to not comment. They et al. might upvote the above comment or not, and nope out.
We can’t even get good Linux user demographics. A large survey sometime back said “Wayland was leading over Xorg, according to users who replied” – obviously false, take a look at Indian corporate use of Ubuntu Desktop LTS, or the legacyness of X11.
Blah blah, 2.5/mitosis/deep sea geysers
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.
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?
Be careful giving away personal information on Lemmy. It’s wildly difficult to ensure stuff is deleted or removed in the Fediverse across multiple servers.
Omg this is getting silly. Asklemmy really is just a user profiling feed.
Yes yes no
Most maybe, but every other demographic is just valid a contributer to the conversation
Too old to understand why you’re asking about American Sign Language

I feel like there’s a really good amount of Europeans around, but I might just imagine that because I browse new at the times when Europeans would be awake haha
I think it’s mostly because European are more aware of privacy, open source and such. I see that trend here and in many open source projects, and I browse on US times.
