No matter how much you rationalise it, forum is still a social media. You are still socialising after all-- in a medium of communication. You can still post pictures in forums if you want, but modern social platforms just have better UI and convenience to post videos and photos than older forums.
By your definition even email is social media.
No, because email is point to point. Ffs. 🤦
by your inability to know what social media is, it is impossible for you to converse on the topic.
Well, people have been sending mails before just for fun. Hence the phenomenon of "penpals".
Pigeon chess
I think people miss the keyword "social".
You are the pigeon, my guy.
I think people should read more about media theory. Especially "The Medium is The Message".
Yes, but email isn't "media", while being a medium.
Lemmy & forums are social media.
Email is not.
However... Mailing lists (where all member have publishing rights) may make me rethink and retract this.
Saying you post on Lemmy/Forums, so it must be social media
Is like trying to argue that raw shit is food, because you can pick it up with a spoon and put it in your mouth.
You are stretching your point so fucking far, that anything from clay tablets to facebook is included under the umbrella, When you and everyone else knows (despite the inability of some to admit it) that social media is a very specific thing, that conjures a very specific idea when you are talking about it, and that very specific idea is generally facebook/twitter, where very specific kind of posts are made, typically linked to your real life face/name/life/business. Posts that you don't generally make on forums, because when you post on forums you are posting in reference to the topic of the forum, because no one there gives a shit about your fake tits, fake tan or fake vacation picture.
you fucking retard.
interacting with other people is "social".
the word "social" isn't defined by, or have anything to do with holiday photos you spoon.
is content submitted by users as opposed to site owners only? that's social media.
hopefully you learnt something today, but given what a stupid piece of shit you seem to be, I doubt it.
You keep shoveling that shit in your mouth while insisting its the worlds most delicious food.
lol English is hard for you, isn't it?
Sure buddy.
baby, you don't have any buddies, pals or friends.
Sure buddy.
I see you trying to be sociable, and still not having a fucking clue what social media is.
