Millennials: It’s ok to mourn the death of social media::Wired writes how “first-gen social media users have nowhere to go.” Ouch.
Nah, forums are more organic old school is cool.
Forums are social media as well, though. They just have different features. “Social media” are all websites and applications which allow sharing of content between users.
I think a forum was just less anonymous. I never remember any name on Lemmy, for example. On the forums ~back in the day~ I actually got to know the people. We even had forum meetings in real life.
I miss forums. Even on technical forums for a software, there was usually an off topic or random section to hang out in
I fear those sections would look very different today. I watched that unfold in an Otaku forum which was quite nice and peaceful for years. It got radicalised by hateful people until the owner shut it down. The same happened with a gamer forum and several other communities I frequented.
Social Media is cancer. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
So you are willfully participating in spreading cancer? Because Lemmy is social media.
Bots and spam have ruined social media for me. I wish there was a private social media.
Private as in owned by megacorp?
I think he means private as in “only me and my friends”.

User Interface maybe?
