You kids, ha. I'm hitting 40 soon, and Lemmy is absolutely as much social media as Reddit is, just different scale and technological underpinning. Don't be high and mighty about it, you can easily burn as much time scrolling through Lemmy communities.

Being able to burn time on something doesnt make it social media.
