Be honest: Do you still use mainstream social media? (piefed.ca)

Cuz the comments throught Lemmy/Piefed seems to indicate that literally every user on here is a FOSS/Dencentralization Purist and has 100% abandoned mainstream platforms.

I wonder if this is actually true or just a small minority of users being overrepresented.

Would you consider tiktok to be social media, then?

    yeah because it's mostly talking heads and the tik tok videos are meant to be replied to by other videos.

    a lot of youtube isn't like that. it's just videos.

    do some people use youtube as a social platform? yes. like the massive genre of talking heads and 'reaction' videos.

    I remember there was actually a time (probably way back in the late 2000s) where youtube used to have a little "video reply" feature, and they would nest the replies beneath the video in a little banner! I miss those days...

    Tiktok is the definition of social media imo. You respond directly to each other with videos that reveal who you are in real life. It's almost aggressively social lol, like neighbors yelling at each other inside of the same apartment building, even if you live on opposite ends of the continent.
