I mean we’re just now participating (i.e. discussing) socially. So what in what world isn’t that social media? I think we both agree that Facebook is bad social media, but that doesn’t mean that something like lemmy isn’t social media. Just because the term has a bad reputation because of platforms like Facebook or Instagram.
As much as I support Cannabis not being schedule 1 drug (in the US), it’s a bad comparison, as it’s a classification by the government, while social media is a cumulative term for various characteristics of an (internet) platform, in which lemmy definitely falls in…
Yes News aggregator is the sub class of that form of social media, but as it is done by the community, and there’s a lot of social interaction, it’s still social media…
Yes. I understand that lemmy and reddit are considered social media for classification or legal purposes or what not.
I, personally do not agree with the classification nor do I consider either platform to be social media.
I would go so far as to argue that they are not infact social media but, again, news aggregators.
I would even state firmly that their classification as social media is incorrect.
In the same sense that cannabis is categorized as a schedule one narcotic but we all know it actually isn’t.
