Rollover says I just want to scroll videos. I would suggest loops but im have not used it and am not sure if it ever got to the point where it is federated.

Lemmy is plenty mindless, thank you.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 29 points 1 week ago (5 children)

We’re not really social media though.

[–] shortrounddev@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Neither is tiktok. It's just media

Anti-social social media club club

[–] Quazatron@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Socialist media

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Why not? A collection of links to things posted by people with comments from other people? Seems pretty social media to me.

So by that logic are old school forums or ms or bbs social media?

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

By forms, do you mean forums? If so, yes. If you mean like Google Forms, then no.

[–] lordnikon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Yes sorry yeah I meant forums

[–] photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Meh, we interact with other humans. I'd call that social.

[–] lordnikon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Social is not the primary word in that phrase it's Media. Media the primary function is passive. Where only a few engage those people are the media personalities or in new media influencers. Since lemmy is so small most people engage since is not big enough to be used to make money or influence people to make other people money. So lemmy acts more like old school forums with a big webring than social media.

[–] photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I disagree. We are sharing media. Whether or not the poster has a large following or is making money is irrelevant. What matters is that we're socializing, of a sort, by sharing media with one another.

[–] lordnikon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

While true and I can see where you are coming from. My logic is we are sharing media meaning this is not the media in of itself. If this is social media, do you consider a discussion board like the ones that use phpbb social media? Honest question.

Yeah. I see any kind of online platform where users interact with other users and share media of any sort to be social media, so forums and discussion boards would fall under that definition. Reddit and Lemmy aren't much different from those types of forums. Granted, that is a very broad definition of social media, but the term itself is very vague.

I can't believe you had the nerve to say that!

[–] KammicRelief@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

have a downvote! (not really)

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Don't forget beans!

If I'm a regular browser then it's definitely dumbed down enough

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 week ago

Probably the most mindless!
