I quit Reddit years ago and moved on to the Fediverse...Social media is not of any interest to me.

I mean, the Fediverse is distributed rather than centralized, but being distributed doesn't make something not social media.

    No need to nitpick. We are two humans communicating so obviously this is a social activity. A community theater is social media by the loosest definition, but the term "social media" now commonly means the big centralized commercial product platforms of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.

    There are worlds of difference between the manipulative ads and algorithms of social media and the activity feeds on Lemmy. It's the difference between a shopping mall and a community yard sale.
