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 you'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.
Physically: 38.
Mentally: 12.

I turned 42 last year and will turn 42 again in 3 years, finally reaching the ultimate answer.
Tail end of 58.
old enough to remember that the format is a/s/l
19/f/Cali was my go to answer for that, even when I was 15 in the middle of nowhere in Alberta.

I celebrated six decades in this planet last Wednesday.

Mid-millenial

In dog years?
Same
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.

From the dawn of time we came; moving silently down through the centuries, living many secret lives, struggling to reach the time of the Gathering; when the few who remain will battle to the last. No one has ever known we were among you... until now.
Just celebrated my 111th birthday. Now I'm off to visit the Lonely Mountain again.

age is a construct
Time is a figment of your imagination, lunchtime doubly so. (as is age)
