Crazy thought, but people don't need Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, any Twitter replacement, etc. I.e. ya'll don't need 'social media'.
You do know that Lemmy counts as social media too, right?
Cake is bread but no one is making a ham and cheese with it.
Lemmy and Reddit the individual user is just that, an individual. But on these other ones, you are encouraged to be a brand. Hell, it's almost expected. And they are just platforms of false affirmation because it's only positive reactions.
So whole yes, this does fall under social media in a broad sense, I would argue it's in a very different category.
