    I’m old enough that I don’t do social media.

    -@Cryophilia@lemmy.world on social media Lemmy

    Edit: Or perhaps I am wrong

    Social media is defined as a website or application that enables us to create and share content. A social network is alternatively a website or application that enables us to communicate with one another by posting information, comments, and messages.

    So I guess Lemmy would be considered social network instead. I didn’t even know there was a difference.

    Edit 2: OK, it seems most people consider Reddit a social media, but others debate it. And Lemmy is fairly similar.
    I guess I made a comment only to bamboozle myself.

      Reddit is not social media because it’s not about social interaction, because it’s anonymous. It’s not social if it’s anonymous.
