I’m trying to understand what the last two streaming services are.
I guess that’s even worse.
Not knowing is a sign of a healthy mind. You will sleep even better than Mr. Simpson in the meme.
This is how I sleep knowing the only social media account I have is Facebook and I hardly use it.
written on social media platform Lemmy ok bud
Yeah I knew there’d be one of you I don’t consider lemmy or reddit social media.
I considered them to be more or less news aggregators than anything else.
Just because there’s the ability to leave comments doesn’t necessarily make it social media.
I mean it’s a media platform, where you can interact socially - so social media?
drives a truck everywhere
“I don’t use cars like everyone else. This is a different means of conveyance altogether.”
Your analogy is bad and you should feel bad.
Your ratio says otherwise
Ratio?
Look a car and a truck are basically the same thing. Visual appearance and application might be slightly different but ultimately they do the same thing one more than the other perhaps.
Lemmy and reddit don’t do the same things as other social media like Facebook Instagram and tiktok.
I already had this argument with another person in his comments thread I’m not going to have it with you.
You can believe what you want you can agree disagree with what you want. Lemmy and reddit are not social media.
This is what Wiktionary says:
noun Interactive forms of media that allow users to interact with and publish to each other, generally by means of the Internet.
You can have a made up definition of what “social media” is and use it to support any argument that you’d like, but you can’t make any sort of compelling case for Reddit or Lemmy not perfectly fitting the generally accepted definition.
My guess is that by defining “social media” to be Facebook and Instagram, telling yourself and others, “I don’t use social media,” allows you to feel some unearned superiority or integrity.
You’re communicating to me right now in the comments of a media post, shared to a social network. Stop making up definitions of terms and expecting anyone else to accept them.
Some people define social media as platforms where you use your real identity as your name like Facebook and MySpace.
whatever helps you sleep
I don’t lose sleep over online miscommunications I’m not involved in.
