    it’s more of a forum than social media if you ask me

      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

        forums existed long before what we call social media was even invented

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