Not exactly. Lemmy (like Reddit) is a social news/link aggregator. So it’s not social media per se, but it’s certainly social media adjacent.

Lmao because you changed media to news/links it’s somehow adjacent?

I can’t believe the number of comments like this one. They are both social media

Social media websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking.

Lemme isn’t a social network like Facebook or Instagram or TikTok

Facebook isn’t like instagram, instagram isn’t like tiktok, lemmy isn’t like tiktok, but they are all social media.

When people find communities like making break and share tips and pictures, that’s networking.

you’re using a pretty arbitrary definition for your opinion, and i disagree.

Ah yes, the arbitrary definitions of the dictionary are my opinion. Well formed argument

Being petulant and throwing a tantrum isn’t really a good argument either.

So now i’m “throwing a tantrum” because saying I was inventing definitions (from the dictionary) didn’t work. Seems like youre the one throwing a tantrum because you were wrong. My argument is fine and far from pedantic. Saying “news and links” aren’t “media” is what’s pedantic
