In case you forgot, Lemmy is social media
Old people can use Tor
Honestly - fine with me, tear it all down.
Sounds like youre deleting your account soon.
Goodbye.
You’re talking to a person who likely deleted their Reddit account, don’t test them, they’ll follow through
😆
antisocial media
Let's ban centralized for profit social media.
Le bad
Huh? It is a kind of forum. Not even close to social media.
It's exactly social media, just because it's the one you like doesn't make it less so.
"websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking." -oxford
"forms of electronic communication (such as websites for social networking and microblogging) through which users create online communities to share information, ideas, personal messages, and other content (such as videos)" - Merriam Webster
Lemmy and forums fit the bill pretty clearly.
That's sounds like everything on the world wide web if not the entire internet.
And forums predated the term “social media.”
I wholeheartedly and respectfully disagree. Social media focuses on following individuals, not topics. There is no incentive to follow or be followed on a forum, and being pseudonymous really kills the "social network" part of that definition.
Edit: typos
Do you really want 15 year olds on lemmy?
Do you think they aren't?
It feels like half the people posting here are <16.
On ml it’s a requirement.
I’d prefer 17+. I think it would be fun to have only 1 year on social media.
Right as they reach peak awkward jagoff.
It has been 3 hours as of this comment, and Spitzspot has yet to delete their account. I guess they don't really believe what they say.
I'm not Australian
