I quit Fbook and all the "social" media a few years back, and haven't missed it at all. Any "friend" who will only interact with me via Fbook/etc, rather than in-person, text, or even email or phone call isn't a real friend, or real relationship at all. My life is quieter and my sanity slowly returned.
Lemmy is social media. Reddit is social media.
It isn't the same, even if it pedantically has the same label. I have zero clue who you are or who you might be trying to be. You are two sentences at this moment to me.
Based and forums-pilled
There's no "pedantically" about it. You said you quit all the "Social" media a few years back, yet, here you are, posting and participating in social media. Be as flippant as you want about it, you're either and idiot or a liar. If we apply Hanlon's Razor here, I think we'll all come to the same conclusion.
Where did I say I quit all the Social media a few years back? Please show me the exact comment.
Remember that you said this about me while you search thought my comment history for me saying that I quit social media a few years back.
I didn't "Search" through anything. You literally said it in the comment thread we are in.
Edit. My bad, I mistook you for someone else. I apologize.
You still didn't demonstrate the wherewithal to differentiate between an old-school forum and something like F*book and the like, and acted as if you were the smart one. And then you attempted to be insulting, sticking out your tongue at the wrong person. Please.
if you don't think things like reddit and lemmy are social media, you're beyond the comprehension and intelligence to even attempt to explain to. so yea. i also apologized for making a mistake. something rarely seen in "forums" or social media. sooo fuck off?
I love how you try to hard to not define fediverse as social media.
Are forums social media?
Yes
