I think there’s two types really. There’s the “hey family, look at my photos and shit that nobody else will care about” social media, and “screaming opinions into the void” social media.
Lemmy and Mastodon are the latter. I guess you can use Mastodon as the former, but I suspect there are better places for that, even if they’re currently spread across a dozen instant messaging apps.

Barely anyone else does though, thus the point.

That’s the mantra that certain people would want others to believe.

Yes, this is a social media hit piece. MSM hates social media because it’s a way for the public to circumvent their lies. The entire article is based on (likely fabricated) anecdotal evidence:
Everyone? Did they take a global survey? Do they see my instagram feed? This person just has shitty friends. Or they are lying.

Show me the stats to back that up.

A city and a village are both social structures. I prefer to live in a nice, small village rather than isolated in a horrible city, even if there is only a small number of people who communicate with me. I love this place. Facebook? Not really. Big media? Not at all.
