Cake is bread but no one is making a ham and cheese with it.

Lemmy and Reddit the individual user is just that, an individual. But on these other ones, you are encouraged to be a brand. Hell, it's almost expected. And they are just platforms of false affirmation because it's only positive reactions.

So whole yes, this does fall under social media in a broad sense, I would argue it's in a very different category.
