I cannot prove this is real, but I have been assured it is.

Reminds me of that post where they were in awe of (I believe it was) Ozzy Osbourne, and hoped someone signed him.
EDIT: It was when Post Malone featured Ozzy on a track.
Social media was a mistake
People have forgotten that the Internet is a repository of information, not just a broadcast medium.
Not any more it ain’t
I’m waiting for the day Jimmy Wales gets fed up and sells Wikipedia to Amazon and every page has an Amazon link to “great products matching your interests.” Can we have internet 2.0 now? One without companies and just all the weird people from the first internet who made shitty webcomics and shared waaaaaay too much about their personal lives.
Now it feels more like a suppository
When I search for information, im just given Amazon and Temu results on how to buy useless shit
Where did all the information search engines go? Im tired of ecommerce search engines
You better start believing in social medias, you’re in one
They say on social media…
This barely qualifies. Lemmy is essentially a link aggregator with a comment section
Anytime it gets mentioned there’s always some neckbeard who defines anything on the internet as social media making that exact comment too. “Lemmy is social media hehehe” as if there’s no difference between this and and FB.
Just because it is different from Facebook, it does not make it non-social.
But the point is, almost every page on the internet has a social aspect now. It’s all about engagement. Is NYT social media? They have arguments in the comment section under every article. Is healthline social media?
Most NYT articles do not permit comments anymore.
My point remains. So many different outlets and sites have social elements.
Good points. I would say those are examples of webpages with social media elements. I guess it is about focus of the website. NYT focus is news. Lemmy? Interaction between users. At least for me. I just can’t call lemmy a news aggregator.
I see what you’re saying, but the term “social media” applying to just a section of a website doesn’t make sense—to me. Call it whatever you want!
I, someone who was the perfect age for every iteration of what I might call “first gen” social media (MySpace/xanga/live journal in middle school, Facebook in the middle/end of my high school career into college, Instagram in college and while I traveled), only see “social media” as personalized connection sites. Sites where you are exactly who you are, connecting with others, saying exactly who they are—basically creating a “social media self.”
THAT is social media to me. But these all pose interesting questions: is a blog social media? During xanga/live journal days, it was considered social media. Are dating sites social media? Is Chatroulette? Is Facebook messenger? If that is, is telegram?
If a site where you anonymously talk to other anonymous people on the internet is social media, I stand by what I said, everything would be “social media” these days. YouTube. Is that social media? It’s all messy, I grant you, but that’s why draw the lines where I do.
Your criteria seems different. But I, as a millennial that grew up with it, I see it as a persona-first platform where people sell themselves. Lemmy is interesting because they’re technically different sites/servers about specific things, linking with other sites/servers, where people discuss the topic of the community. The focus is the subject being discussed, not the subject speaking. Social media is subjective, I think that’s where I make the distinction.
Please just stop.
Never! It is my crusade to call Lemmy a social media!
I’d say it’s a very pure form of social media. Like Mastodon.
And if doing drugs has taught me anything pure and not psychologically affective are not synonymous, it just means you can properly dose and should be able to predict the effects.
Any media that allows you to be social is a social media.
Just because we use fake names doesn’t change much about it. We are all still discussing things like the social beings we are.
So an IRC chatroom is social media?
By that logic any comment section on a news site is social media. If any kind of interaction with other people while consuming some kind of content on the internet qualifies the term is meaningless
And it has communities. Right?
Which are subscriptions to certain topics

I’m fairly certain these people are trolling.
Doesn’t matter. It’s guaranteed to make multiple people I know mildly upset so I’m gonna show it to them.
Yes. That’s what trolling means.
I’m attacking you with my mind.
I can’t not read that without drawing it out. Like,
“I’m attacking you with my miiiiiiiiiind”
Or when the same thing happened with Paul McCartney collaborating with Rhianna on ‘FourFive seconds’ - apparently Paul was a new up and comer!
I get that Google is shit, but c’mon…
Who is Google?
I think he did a song with Travis Scott.
They did the same thing with PAUL MCCARTNEY when he did something with Kanye West, 😂
Wait, it’s like this is some sort of joke or circle jerk because two people made the exact same “who tf is…” comment, just with different names.
Who tf is CoolMatt
This is why I love Patches for shining light on unknown artists
Probably so. I mean, even though the b®ands he played at aren’t what I personally listen to, I’ve often heard his name here and there.
Tbh I wonder what happened pre Malone
Wonder no more!
This made my day
Started hormalone therapy.
Holy damn watched the live performance for “take what you want” for first time and first it’s a great song, but also I’m not sure I’ve ever seen happier person than Ozzy right there.
