Social media isn’t bad, just ask early Facebook users or current lemmy users. Corporations definitely turn them to shit marketing services. See same examples.
My anecdotal take has more to do with a deterioration of polite society and the proliferation of easily accessible information, which happens to paint a negative picture. Also, get off my lawn you kids!
Lemmy isn’t social media. It’s a forum.
Forums were just social media before it had a distinct name.
No they weren’t. You don’t follow people on forums. Write a definition of social media that includes forums but excludes news websites, or literally any website with a comment section. I’ll wait.
Before Facebook etc, forums were really small and plenty. They might be about a certain topic, but you were there for the few loud people that kept it going. Following them, pretty much. Didn’t like them, you went to another forum of that topic, same deal there.
It’s nothing like the forums today full of new accounts asking one question and moving on.
Lemmy is also not really anything like those forums. The reason why you call Lemmy a forum but Facebook not is more accidental, maybe because of marketing, definitely not because of rigorous definitions.
In any case, @[email protected]’s observation applies to social media, forums, news sites with a comment section and any other site.

Wow that was difficult.
So not forums then.
“Common features” does not imply it must have all on the list to be considered social media.
Here’s the other three if you’re curious:
Online platforms enable users to create and share content and participate in social networking.[2][3][4]
User-generated content—such as text posts or comments, digital photos or videos, and data generated through online interactions.[2][3]
Social media helps the development of online social networks by connecting a user’s profile with those of other individuals or groups.[2][5]
My parents’ generation, and mines have extremely different views on what “politeness” means. For them it means “respect my seniority, which means I should have authority over you,” not “I deserve dignity, so be generous at my circumstances.”
My parents want me to submit to their insubordinations “because that is the polite thing to do.” Not if I can kiss my polycule in front of them because it makes this cis monogamous biases disgust.
Yep, pretty much why we don’t respect landowners. Parasite scum.
Your joke detector is broken
…
also our joke indicators differ.
Snowflakes and boomers have the same toxic levels of self assurance in their righteousness, that’s why we have a reacctionary wave now, both worse generations in the last 100y are imposing upon others their orthodoxies with no time for empathy or dialogue. The one with the most money is winning, predictably.
e.g. @[email protected]
Why in the fuck do I get <3 day old accounts to reply to my nerdy posts, on a nerdy thread‽ And it’s not the only one! This one created an account JUST to deOP me.
anyways, verdi, if you are a real frenchie, why do I have to care about boomer’s opinions that aren’t helping us compost the money havers?
I am talking about how intent and meaning differ, esp. when jokes need setup and indications through generations.
Oh god, now you’re tagging me in your unhinged bullshit? This persecution fetish is really getting to be too much.
We just need a 100% inheritance tax. Boomers and younger generations will never let that happen.
bruv, I am anarchist, tax is theft.
Oppression is oppression.
This shit has nothing do to with jokes or generational intents in diction.
You’re in the wrong thread m8.
