Unfederated news thread? Unfederated reddit? *i then struggle to explain reddit

Is it social media? Is it a forum?

I live around more tractors than people for context of my audience. I can explain what unfederated aspect is no problem but i sould like my grandpa describing facebook to his older siblings when i try to explain what a lemmy or reddit style forum is to my peers and family.

I just say its open source community run social media 🤷🏻‍♂️

Most people don't care, so I just move on to talking about whatever I was referencing that required the context of what the platform is
