Comment on I am indeed old
Gold_E_Lox@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 days agoi guess its a media that is intended for social use, but i feel thays similar to calling a cooked meal “processed food”. like yeah technically correct (best kind), but also defying the indended meaning when most people use the term.

How would you define social media to exclude email?

I’m not them but for me “social media” in the colloquial use has some sort of discoverability and some functionality to put out a piece of media publically in a way that can then be discovered. (Note that this isn’t my entire definition, just the part where I feel email is disqualified.)
For emails you need external services to find, subscribe and/or manage things such as mailinglists to sorta approach this behavior.

Then Discord and Grindr DMs aren’t social media.
