Lemmy is a message board, not social media. Like fark or something awful. You have no idea who the duck i am. How is that social?

Users create and/or share content, check. Users discuss content, check.

Unless you think something is missing from that definition, Lemmy is social media. It is pseudonymous, but it is still social because of the users.

Since when did that define social media? That's the same thing as IRC. is IRC social media?

ICQ had message boards where people would chat about the news. Was that social media?

Again, fark is a place where people share content and discuss the news. Is that social media?
