I don't understand these memes... you are literally posting on a social media platform right now... this here is social media. Lemmy is social media. We are socializing, with media, you can comment, you can post image and links, this is social media..

Why do people somehow mental gymnastic themselves into thinking they are above social media while still actively posting on social media. I see memes like this here on lemmy all the time, saw them on reddit too, it makes absolutely no sense.

I'd say one big difference between those platforms and Reddit/Lemmy is that we can downvote shit until they have negative score and disappear into oblivion.

A lot of lemmy instances do not have downvote.
