  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.

  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?

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

        The only wind blowing in the wrong direction is coming from your ass, which is clearly the source of your “modern version of bulletin boards equals social media” hypothesis.
