Reminds me of that post where they were in awe of (I believe it was) Ozzy Osbourne, and hoped someone signed him.

EDIT: It was when Post Malone featured Ozzy on a track.

People have forgotten that the Internet is a repository of information, not just a broadcast medium.

I'm waiting for the day Jimmy Wales gets fed up and sells Wikipedia to Amazon and every page has an Amazon link to "great products matching your interests." Can we have internet 2.0 now? One without companies and just all the weird people from the first internet who made shitty webcomics and shared waaaaaay too much about their personal lives.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Seems like you're going to the wrong places than

[–] [email protected] 25 points 7 months ago

Now it feels more like a suppository

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago

When I search for information, im just given Amazon and Temu results on how to buy useless shit

Where did all the information search engines go? Im tired of ecommerce search engines

[–] [email protected] 24 points 7 months ago

You better start believing in social medias, you're in one

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (2 children)

This barely qualifies. Lemmy is essentially a link aggregator with a comment section

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Anytime it gets mentioned there's always some neckbeard who defines anything on the internet as social media making that exact comment too. "Lemmy is social media hehehe" as if there's no difference between this and and FB.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Just because it is different from Facebook, it does not make it non-social.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (2 children)

But the point is, almost every page on the internet has a social aspect now. It’s all about engagement. Is NYT social media? They have arguments in the comment section under every article. Is healthline social media?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Most NYT articles do not permit comments anymore.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

My point remains. So many different outlets and sites have social elements.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Good points. I would say those are examples of webpages with social media elements. I guess it is about focus of the website. NYT focus is news. Lemmy? Interaction between users. At least for me. I just can’t call lemmy a news aggregator.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

I see what you’re saying, but the term “social media” applying to just a section of a website doesn’t make sense—to me. Call it whatever you want!

I, someone who was the perfect age for every iteration of what I might call “first gen” social media (MySpace/xanga/live journal in middle school, Facebook in the middle/end of my high school career into college, Instagram in college and while I traveled), only see “social media” as personalized connection sites. Sites where you are exactly who you are, connecting with others, saying exactly who they are—basically creating a “social media self.”

THAT is social media to me. But these all pose interesting questions: is a blog social media? During xanga/live journal days, it was considered social media. Are dating sites social media? Is Chatroulette? Is Facebook messenger? If that is, is telegram?

If a site where you anonymously talk to other anonymous people on the internet is social media, I stand by what I said, everything would be “social media” these days. YouTube. Is that social media? It’s all messy, I grant you, but that’s why draw the lines where I do.

Your criteria seems different. But I, as a millennial that grew up with it, I see it as a persona-first platform where people sell themselves. Lemmy is interesting because they’re technically different sites/servers about specific things, linking with other sites/servers, where people discuss the topic of the community. The focus is the subject being discussed, not the subject speaking. Social media is subjective, I think that’s where I make the distinction.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Interesting. So, if a person is anonymous, then it is not social media in your mind?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Never! It is my crusade to call Lemmy a social media!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'd say it's a very pure form of social media. Like Mastodon.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

And if doing drugs has taught me anything pure and not psychologically affective are not synonymous, it just means you can properly dose and should be able to predict the effects.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Any media that allows you to be social is a social media.

Just because we use fake names doesn't change much about it. We are all still discussing things like the social beings we are.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

So an IRC chatroom is social media?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

By that logic any comment section on a news site is social media. If any kind of interaction with other people while consuming some kind of content on the internet qualifies the term is meaningless

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

And it has communities. Right?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Which are subscriptions to certain topics

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

🎶 where the Parthenon is 🎶

[–] [email protected] 80 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I'm fairly certain these people are trolling.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 7 months ago (1 children)

If they aren't I'm supporting climate change

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Entering the war on climate on the side of humans. Wait...

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Doesn't matter. It's guaranteed to make multiple people I know mildly upset so I'm gonna show it to them.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yes. That's what trolling means.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'm attacking you with my mind.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

I can't not read that without drawing it out. Like,

"I'm attacking you with my miiiiiiiiiind"

[–] [email protected] 24 points 7 months ago

Or when the same thing happened with Paul McCartney collaborating with Rhianna on 'FourFive seconds' - apparently Paul was a new up and comer!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I get that Google is shit, but c’mon…

I think he did a song with Travis Scott.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Wait, it's like this is some sort of joke or circle jerk because two people made the exact same "who tf is..." comment, just with different names.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

This is why I love Patches for shining light on unknown artists

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Probably so. I mean, even though the b(r)ands he played at aren't what I personally listen to, I've often heard his name here and there.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Tbh I wonder what happened pre Malone

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

This made my day

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Started hormalone therapy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Holy damn watched the live performance for "take what you want" for first time and first it's a great song, but also I'm not sure I've ever seen happier person than Ozzy right there.
