if forums are social media, or the internet more broadly is social media, would that include shit like, newspapers? And like, the library?
Comment on What if?
jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 5 weeks agoPeople have gotten confused and declared that any internet based activity that involves interaction is social media. Social media is centered on users (you follow other people, not topics, and people for whatever crazy reason use their real name), whereas there is absolutely no real reason to do that on a forum.

This is the exact reason I never became interested in Mastodon. Following people just isn’t my style. The only social media I use is YouTube (without an account) because apparently Lemmy isn’t social media.
