Setting aside Big Tech and surveillance capitalism for a minute — I wonder if fediverse microblogging apps like Mastodon aren’t fairly antisocial and inclined to individualism, while apps like Lemmy are more community and artefact/stuff-to-share centric.
People are complex, societies infinitely more so, but software can nudge us this way or that way too.
I’d be interested to hear what others here think.
No, both social. “Social media” means content is provided by the users, not the website proprietor.
By that definition, Wikipedia and Google Search are social media too
Wikipedia is, yes.
