MODERATORS
I am 24, autistic, straight edge, and a data analyst. I'm the youngest person in my company, the closest person to me in age is 45. I haven't used a regular social media site since I was 14. My only interaction with modern discourse is my girlfriend's 18 year old sister. When she talks she might as well be speaking another language. My hobbies are unix, classic literature, VHS collecting, and synthesizers. My girlfriend calls me her 80 year old boyfriend.
Isn't Lemmy a social media?
The anonymous factor differentiates things.
Can't any social media be anonymous?
Sure but it's not intended to be.
Also a big part of it is imo that you never interact with the same people on sites like reddit or Lemmy, you don't follow anyone or anything.
I often see the same people over and over again on lemmy since its a small community. I even saw the same nicks on reddit often (like shittymorph). But yes it isn't intended to be ego centric like other sites.
So Twitter isn't a social media?
The "social" aspect is up to debate.
Good old asocial network.
Usernames though. Anonymous would be something like 4chan
I guess they mean Facebook, Xitter, etc. You know, the big ones.
I think anonymous social media, while still social media, occupies a very different category from non-anonymous (identified?) social media. And the default interpretation of "social media" is the latter.
That'd make Twitter not social media for people not using their actual names.
The tougher requirement of people using their name would leave very few social medias. Basically just LinkedIn and Facebook, with Twitter and others that have usernames but also named people being in the grey area.
Any media can be anonymous.
It's a link aggregator
It's also "social news", which is a kind of social media.
Only if you don't participate in the comments sections or even just look at them.
More or less, but they specified “regular social media” which Lemmy is not
How dare you?
I'm on kbin. But I'd consider this and other reddit inspired websites to be closer to a forum than a social media. Sure, you can use it like a regular social media site, but it's more tilted towards a forum method.
Not a regular one
