Is lemmy social media?
If not, i have no social media in the last 5 years except 1 post on facebook trying to rehome a dog.
I don't consider reddit/lemmy as social media. The lack of 'necessity' of having your personal info plastered about and inserted into every exchange makes them something different. They're just a different form of forum, in my opinion, with nested comments instead of a long chain.
Forums are a type of social media. It's a media platform where you can be social.
But you can also be anti social and just bark on lemmy. So it’s not 100% social media (at least I don’t consider it as such).
