Deleting all of my social media accounts was one of the best choices I made this year.

I don’t really count Lemmy or Mastodon. They feel more like forums to me, but that might be my age showing. I know traditional forums these days have fallen out of popularity.

forums, message boards, reddunit, fuzzbook, instagone.. anywhere you interact with multiple ppl is these days technically social media

This is more content-first where facebook/twitter/etc are user-first. I think user-first brings out worse patterns.

Forums and blogs were not what people mean by "social media." Lemmy is an evolution of forums.
