putting your age in your bio isn't inherently dangerous, however it has the potential of signalling to malicious people that this user is more vulnerable. for example, if a user has "13" in their bio, they are more likely to be a target than someone who has "minor" in their bio, as that could mean any age between 13-17 (assuming they are following site policy).

this becomes highly dangerous when that user is less than 13 years of age. i have seen people with ages as young as 10 on their profile, which have luckily been removed. although spacehey moderation is usually pretty on-the-ball, their profiles have the capability to exist for long enough for someone malicious to reach out. the younger a user is, the more dangerous it is for them to reveal information regarding their age - which is almost always an indicator of maturity/vulnerability.

if you, reading this, are under the age of this site policy, you are not "mature" enough to use it. you think you are at that age - everybody does - but you genuinely are not. you will look back on yourself in 2 or 3 years and realise that fact and how vulnerable you actually were. we have all been there lmao
