Rollover says I just want to scroll videos. I would suggest loops but im have not used it and am not sure if it ever got to the point where it is federated.
Lemmy is plenty mindless, thank you.
We’re not really social media though.
Neither is tiktok. It’s just media
Anti-social social media club club
That’s what I like about it.
Socialist media
Why not? A collection of links to things posted by people with comments from other people? Seems pretty social media to me.
So by that logic are old school forums or ms or bbs social media?
By forms, do you mean forums? If so, yes. If you mean like Google Forms, then no.
Yes sorry yeah I meant forums
Meh, we interact with other humans. I’d call that social.
Social is not the primary word in that phrase it’s Media. Media the primary function is passive. Where only a few engage those people are the media personalities or in new media influencers. Since lemmy is so small most people engage since is not big enough to be used to make money or influence people to make other people money. So lemmy acts more like old school forums with a big webring than social media.
I disagree. We are sharing media. Whether or not the poster has a large following or is making money is irrelevant. What matters is that we’re socializing, of a sort, by sharing media with one another.
While true and I can see where you are coming from. My logic is we are sharing media meaning this is not the media in of itself. If this is social media, do you consider a discussion board like the ones that use phpbb social media? Honest question.
Yeah. I see any kind of online platform where users interact with other users and share media of any sort to be social media, so forums and discussion boards would fall under that definition. Reddit and Lemmy aren’t much different from those types of forums. Granted, that is a very broad definition of social media, but the term itself is very vague.
Don’t forget reactionary!
I can’t believe you had the nerve to say that!
have a downvote! (not really)
Don’t forget beans!
If I’m a regular browser then it’s definitely dumbed down enough
Probably the most mindless!
The jury is still out on BlueSky, but I don’t think that’s going to go well.
If you can’t find shallow, mindless media on Bluesky then you’re not looking.
Also, just go on Rednote, ffs. I peaked in there and half the front page is just “Welcome Refugees! Learn hHow to monetize like you did on TikTok” which is soul-suckingly depressing and reminds me why I didn’t fuck with Instagram or TikTok to begin with.
(Title says it is from 2024, while picture has @2025, so I guess 22/01/2025 :D That darn calendar)
doh. I will go fix. One thing that is nice about the federation is you can edit mistakes in posting which reddit annoyingly blocked. now watch I will be blocked. you will know if the date corrects :)
ethical
bluesky
lol sure
Also you can check nostr if you want something that has both twitter stuff + tiktok like videos, no account required either.
