You know you can just... stop visiting all social media sites right? Its not easy but its very doable. Ive mostly done it (significantly reduced to almost nothing).
We are on social media right now?
Yeah, but lemmy is awesome
I'm on Mbin, but I don't disagree with you: Lemmy is awesome!
Mbin is awesome too!
Again, I have to agree.
mbin gang!

You can’t argue with that logic.
You can, but you'd be wrong.
Sometimes this feels like antisocial media.
It's pretty much just a forum with voting.
That's what blocking is for:-)
Is that what a block party is? I've heard legends of them.
Yes they is precisely it. Not to be confused with a Lego party (of blocks), or a Minecraft blocky party.
I said I reduced mine, not eliminated.
Fair enough. Fediverse is just better anyways IMO, barely counts as social media lol
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.
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
What an insane take.
retort
Your logic means literally every website on the planet with any sort of text input is social media. It’s literally an insane take.
counter retort
Counter counter retort. Just stop replying if you’re not going to participate in the discussion.
Practice what you preach.
I'm just here on lemmy. I've been lurking reddit just to see more breaking news but that will stop come novemeber.
Why November? Is something happening?
Finally, the End of all things.
Should we tell him?
By all means. Full us in!
I was just joking. I habitually check reddit hoping Trump sits on his own balls or something. Will continue until the election.
