  What do you call lemmy/mastodon then?

    They don’t count it as social if it’s pseudonymous.
    Even thought, that’s not what social means.

    No more social media than 4chan

    Antisocial media. (I.e. perpetual bickering.)

    The best distiction i’ve heard is that social media follows people (twitter, youtube, mastodon, etc… whereas lemmy, reddit, etc… follow topics. They’re more like news feeds with a comment section.

      We used to call things like Lemmy a ‘forum’.

        Yeah, I came from ebaumsworld forums to Reddit, and Reddit to here, and they all scratch the same itch, which is basically me engaging in meaningless (not always) conversation with people, sometimes seriously, sometimes jokingly. All that’s changed is how it looks and how people talk.

        We used to call things like a forum a “BBS”.

      If you just wanted to follow a topic, you could follow Wikipedia RSS feeds.

      If you’re reading and responding to comments, you’re engaging in social media.

      that would make sense if there wasnt a number of lemmy communities dedicated to documenting drama from other lemmy communities and users, not to mention blood feuds between different domains

        Lemmy reporting on lemmy is just regular old news i’m pretty sure. Would an online newspaper with a comment section count as social media then? How about paper newspapers with an active “comments from readers” section?

    • Booboofinget@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I’d say they are more of a comment section that just so happens to include feeds 🤪

      Ok bare with me here. News feeds with comments is? is it media that is social?

        I’ll bear with you, but I don’t want to get naked with you.

    Ive always differentiated lemmy/reddit from social media for 2 main reasons. First because it isnt (or wasnt) full of “influencers” trying to push shit on you. Second and probably more so, becausee its anonymous. I dont know anyone one here personally and no one knows me. These platforms are more like collections of the internet with a comment section, imo. Not much different than things like The Chive or even a news site, but instead of news, its memes and sometimes news

    • shneancy@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      don’t forget memes about the news

      source

      • Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        And, unfortunately more and more frequently, news about the memes.

        By which I mean that politics has become a farce where memes are often taken more seriously than things like science and thoroughly researched journalism 😮‍💨

      The structured user information is what I think killed the “free” vibe of the early internet: you naturally see a lot of information even before you contact anyone. That removes some intimacy of exchanging information about who you are, in a way you want. Around 2000, I was playivg pool with random people on Yahoo Games, and trying to learn English talking to them. I’ve met a girl of my age from Jakarta, I talked to oome boomer Arizona cowboy who was releived to know “we’re not fucking commies anymore” (I`m Russian). These were interesting conversations where we discovered each other. Now I wouldn’t talk to the guy like that, because “I see we probably don’t have much in common, and he wrote this and that to other people”

        “Social media” is as much “social” as that “dating apps” are “dating”
