They say on social media...

This barely qualifies. Lemmy is essentially a link aggregator with a comment section

Anytime it gets mentioned there’s always some neckbeard with who defines anything on the internet as social media making that exact comment too. “Lemmy is social media hehehe” as if there’s no difference between this and and FB.

Just because it is different from Facebook, it does not make it non-social.

And it has communities. Right?

Which are subscriptions to certain topics

I’d say it’s a very pure form of social media. Like Mastodon.

And if doing drugs has taught me anything pure and not psychologically affective are not synonymous, it just means you can properly dose and should be able to predict the effects.

Any media that allows you to be social is a social media.
Just because we use fake names doesn’t change much about it. We are all still discussing things like the social beings we are.

So an IRC chatroom is social media?
GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
By that logic any comment section on a news site is social media. If any kind of interaction with other people while consuming some kind of content on the internet qualifies the term is meaningless

People have forgotten that the Internet is a repository of information, not just a broadcast medium.

I’m waiting for the day Jimmy Wales gets fed up and sells Wikipedia to Amazon and every page has an Amazon link to “great products matching your interests.” Can we have internet 2.0 now? One without companies and just all the weird people from the first internet who made shitty webcomics and shared waaaaaay too much about their personal lives.
