I experience this too, what happened in that conversation that drained you?

For me it’s social media. I’m old enough that I don’t do social media. But 95% of teenagers’ lives revolve around it. I can’t relate and have no desire to.

Alot of adults now too unfortunately. I was at the bar recently with a friend and was chatting with some girls, they asked for our Facebook and their interest was immediately gone when I told them I didn’t have one.

Fine by me if it’s that much of a no for you I didn’t want to be your fb photographer anyway 😛

Edit: Or perhaps I am wrong

Social media is defined as a website or application that enables us to create and share content. A social network is alternatively a website or application that enables us to communicate with one another by posting information, comments, and messages.

So I guess Lemmy would be considered social network instead. I didn’t even know there was a difference.

Edit 2: OK, it seems most people consider Reddit a social media, but others debate it. And Lemmy is fairly similar.
I guess I made a comment only to bamboozle myself.

By that definition literally any website with user-generated content is social media.

Are Steam Community pages social media?

Huge difference between an anonymous social network and one where your real identity is out there.

Reddit is not social media because it’s not about social interaction, because it’s anonymous. It’s not social if it’s anonymous.

Lemmy is all the social media I have nowadays. I wouldn’t change it.
