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.

We are on social media right now?

[-] ChaoticCookie@sh.itjust.works 29 points 1 month ago

Yeah, but lemmy is awesome

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 20 points 1 month ago

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

[-] ChaoticCookie@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 month ago

Mbin is awesome too!

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 8 points 1 month ago

Again, I have to agree.

Touché @FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io

You can’t argue with that logic.

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 3 points 1 month ago

You can, but you'd be wrong.

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 12 points 1 month ago

Sometimes this feels like antisocial media.

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 4 points 1 month ago

It's pretty much just a forum with voting.

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 3 points 1 month ago

That's what blocking is for:-)

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 2 points 1 month ago

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

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 1 points 1 month ago

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

[-] semperverus@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I said I reduced mine, not eliminated.

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 4 points 1 month ago

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

[-] tyler@programming.dev -2 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 5 points 1 month ago

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

[-] tyler@programming.dev 0 points 1 month ago

What an insane take.

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 1 points 1 month ago

retort

[-] tyler@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago

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

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 0 points 1 month ago

counter retort

[-] tyler@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago

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

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 0 points 1 month ago

Practice what you preach.
