Interaction through a medium is social media i guess. But i wouldn’t call ist that. Lemmy, WhatsApp and YouTube aren’t really social media for me. I don’t throw personal stuff into the void of people i more or less don’t know in hope to get likes.
I would argue that a forum is a type of social media. It’s very different in that it’s as anonymous as you want it to be. But it is still a place where people visit for the purpose of socializing
Where I live, Facebook is used by baby boomers, so yes it’s still used. But that’s the cliche. When I log in, I still see some millennials being at least online and some even posting unironically. But it’s mainly dead for millennials
Posted right into social media 👍
Aren’t your friends meant to also use Lemmy for it to count as social media?
No one I know knows what Lemmy is.
it’s more of a forum than social media if you ask me

it’s Social Media once there are ads and blatant anti-user changes

forums existed long before what we call social media was even invented
*I* don’t even know what Lemmy is, and I’ve been using it daily for months!
I can explain it to you: it’s a social media
Hmmm… I want to believe you, but that sounds like a made-up term…
This is hardly social media. None of y’all exist
antisocial media
I read the meme in the way that it feels like telling people you’re not on social media since you’re on none they know.
Also: is Facebook really still a thing?
It can be surprising because lemmy’s demographic is like the opposite of facebook’s but, yeah, it really still is a thing.
A tip I often hear given to new start ups is to not underestimate how many people are only on facebook.
