    It’s like the shittiest QVC and it’s all over my fyp. I hate it. I’ll see the same person selling the same stupid shirt so many times. There were like a dozen people selling a ghost night light. I caved and bought one because it’s actually adorable and my wife loves that sort of stuff and I never give her spontaneous gifts, but it sags in the outlet lmao. Like it just nearly falls out. There’s a bunch of people selling some tub scrubber too right now. It’s so so annoying. I just wanna see shit posts.

        If social media is bad for your brain why is lemmy, a social media site, not?

              Because message boards have existed both in physical and online for a god damn millenia before fucking facebook and myspace were a whisper in the balls of the creator’s fathers. I have no fucking idea who any of you clown shoes are and I don’t fucking care either.

              Children playing show and tell is more social media than online message boards.

                  And? I can post definitions too! Dictionaries are not that difficult to use.

                  message board noun

                  1: a board or sign on which messages or notices are displayed

                  an electronic message board

                  2: a public electronic forum that allows users to post or read messages or to post or download files and that is accessed by computer over a network (such as the Internet)

                  https://www.oed.com/dictionary/message-board_n?tl=true

                    True, you can post definitions and demonstrate that dictionaries are very easy to use.

                    Try reading and understanding those definitions next.

                    When you are all caught up I won’t be here to finish whatever it is you are trying for here.

              Because social media is just that: media. They’re platforms for ads and marketing that are more akin to broadcast media with a parasocial interactive twist. Contrast that with social networking which facilitates connections between actual people.

              At some point in the last two decades, those distinctions have blurred, often to great shareholder benefit.

                That is one way to say a lot while saying nothing at all, and it is weird how many people want to pretend they aren’t using social media while using social media.

                What are you doing to make “connections between actual people”? How is that different from anyone else using a different platform?

                Lemmy is not social media to you because there is no one using it to advertise, market, or broadcast themselves to the greater population?

                Or is it because there is no “media” available on the website?

                Or is it just because you say so?
