    Trash country continues circling the drain.

    Remember folks, always vote against Republicans in the most likely manner to prevent them from having any level of power.

    It’s going to be weird when there’s no handle or social media at all. I nuked my social media around 2020/2021, I was legit tired if people posting travel pics and pretending everything was alright. Oh by the way one could make a fake page just for this, but deep down we know we don’t care.

      If you say that you have no social media accounts they will probably assume you’re lying and deny you.

        I imagined. Probably it’s better to have a public one where you have the kind of things they want to see.

      … but isn’t Lemmy social media? And you’re here. (Although I guess it is more accurately called antisocial media)

        If you loosely follow the definition of social media to mean “Website where you can interact with people in any way” then yes.

        But I think the average colloquial use of the term social media really refers to websites where you make a real life personal profile and share things on that profile. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. You as the individual are the focus of those types of sites.

        The (original at least) point of sites like Lemmy and Reddit is sharing information where you as an individual are not the focus. Hence posting to communities rather than your own wall or profile, the use of usernames over real names etc.

        Lemmy is social media, but when people say “social media” they’re typically referring to one of two things. They either mean all social media including legacy forums or they mean media that is directly tied to their real names.

        Lemmy also can’t be used non-publicly so a pointless distinction considering the context.
