    Nice to know it is a pleasant disagreement. But seriously, this is not social media.

    • Posting other peoples content instead of their own

    • Anonymity over identifiable.

    • Its not better filtering, it is distinct categories and communities, just like forums.

    • Persistent over breaking news.

    • There are no (or few) personal updates or status reports.

    • There is little to no social networking which is the hallmark of social media, like twitter, Linked In, Facebook, etc.

      1. Yes, like people often do on social media.
      2. You didnt have to use your real name on social media until relatively recently, and depending on platform.
      3. Yes, Like I said, filters.
      4. Both are persistent, and both have breaking news
      5. People who want everyone to know their personal updates, post them everywhere.
      6. There is tons of social networking on sites like reddit, Lemmy probably less so. but only because its relatively recent in the zeitgeist.
