  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.

      But the point is, almost every page on the internet has a social aspect now. It’s all about engagement. Is NYT social media? They have arguments in the comment section under every article. Is healthline social media?

        Good points. I would say those are examples of webpages with social media elements. I guess it is about focus of the website. NYT focus is news. Lemmy? Interaction between users. At least for me. I just can’t call lemmy a news aggregator.

        Most NYT articles do not permit comments anymore.

        Never! It is my crusade to call Lemmy a social media!

  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?

    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
