Yeah, i know. But Lemmy don't feel like Social Media to me... More like a Internet forum.

What you call social media is corporate attention harvesting I'd say while Lemmy seams to be real social media.

We need more things in this world that are user focused.

[–] LostCause@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

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)

Definition wise, itβ€˜s clearly social media. I get it though, the corporate giants feel more rage bait-y due to the algorithms they employ.
