Is anyone here so hardcore that they don’t even bother with mainstream social media? If its not on Lemmy or Mastodon it must not be important? Anyone that hardcore?

    The reason I would call reddit social media is that I don’t agree with any of those rules

    The closest I would agree with is 2, and not based on lack of anonymity but instead on persistence of identity, and that being core to the experience

    I was part of subreddits where users knew each other as distinct personalities, and could converse across different threads across time, and occasionally IRL from various meetups

    When a website doesn’t have a lively and persistent ‘local’ community (maybe geographic, maybe subject etc) it can’t really be social
