Wait... is this not social media? What we are doing right now?
It's the antithesis to social media. We're all not socializing, but nerding over some topics nobody else is interested in. I don't know you and I won't know your user name five minutes after I've written this. And that's not meant to be an insult, I really like it that way. We're here for topics, not people.
Twitter/Facebook/Instagram/whatever is about people, and I hate it.
I’m guessing they consider reddit to be social media. Which means as a reddit clone, Lemmy would also be considered such.
Though I wonder if Lemmy is popular enough for them to know or care about it.
Fair, I am probably using it wrong, hehe. I definitely am picking up quite a few names and occasionally socialising. For me it's just the current platform nerds are socialising on until this one gets too popular/ruined and we have to move again.
I mean of course that's how we use it. It's just vastly different to the other networks, at least for me. The topic vs person difference is something I really enjoy though.
