Trying to prep myself for when they foxify all social media platforms.

Edit: you all better be careful saying you don't see any of it. Leon might catch wind.

You know you can just... stop visiting all social media sites right? Its not easy but its very doable. Ive mostly done it (significantly reduced to almost nothing).

[–] [email protected] 35 points 2 months ago (4 children)

We are on social media right now?

I'm on Mbin, but I don't disagree with you: Lemmy is awesome!

Again, I have to agree.

Touché @[email protected]

You can’t argue with that logic.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

You can, but you'd be wrong.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Sometimes this feels like antisocial media.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

It's pretty much just a forum with voting.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's what blocking is for:-)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is that what a block party is? I've heard legends of them.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Yes they is precisely it. Not to be confused with a Lego party (of blocks), or a Minecraft blocky party.

I said I reduced mine, not eliminated.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Fair enough. Fediverse is just better anyways IMO, barely counts as social media lol

[–] [email protected] -2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Lemmy isn’t social media. If you’re defining forums as social media then literally and comment section on any website, including blogs and news sites somehow become social media. I don’t know how people started thinking forums are social media but it’s just plain incorrect.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Forums and comments sections are 100% social media, you are mistaken there. I guess we'll just have to argue back and forth ad nauseam or something

Your logic means literally every website on the planet with any sort of text input is social media. It’s literally an insane take.

Counter counter retort. Just stop replying if you’re not going to participate in the discussion.

I'm just here on lemmy. I've been lurking reddit just to see more breaking news but that will stop come novemeber.

[–] Primer81 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why November? Is something happening?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Finally, the End of all things.

I was just joking. I habitually check reddit hoping Trump sits on his own balls or something. Will continue until the election.
