    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.

    No. Shut up, nobody agrees with you.

    I will not bend my sails for a wind that blows the wrong direction, no matter how powerful the gust.

    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.

    Wow. you're particularly tilted about it. I'd expect this kind of reaction on Facebook but not on a refined, sophisticated place that clearly isn't social media.

    Go the fuck outside dude.

    Nah, just because I'm direct and amusing myself with some light wordplay doesn't mean that I'm particularly incensed. Sounds like you're being overly defensive about your stupid pet hypothesis ๐Ÿคท

    A lot of assholes describe themselves that way. Interesting

    Are you guys not on the same side of the argument? Not about the buttholes and their expulsions, but about where forums/message boards rank versus Facebook.

    If, like all things, it's a gradient, I'd plop these message boards far left of the likes of Myspace, and xanga, etc.

    That's not the point of contention. It's about whether or not forums/message boards (regardless of political ideology) can correctly be categorized as "social media".

    They wrongly contend that not only is that possible but in fact inarguably correct.

    I, on the other hand, correctly pointed out the ridiculousness of such a claim.

    This in turn made them jump to the separate incorrect conclusion that my slightly brusque wordplay was proof positive that I was overcome with apoplectic fits of all-consuming rage and that fondling lawn trimmings would be an effective remedy.

    TL;DR: It's all very silly and inconsequential, but I'm having fun ๐Ÿ˜„

    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

    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 playing 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 some boomer Arizona cowboy who was relieved 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"

    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 ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ
