Lemmy might fit within the technical definition of social media, but don’t be so obtuse as to equate an anonymous community message board with the likes of Facebook and IG that are tied to your identity,

Do you really think the state and its fascists care about this differentiation?

They will literally come after Lemmy the first chance that they get. Far more so than insiders like zuck, musk, etc.

And it will be at least partially a result of y'all libs calling for it based on this wacky pseudo-science.
