Honey you want to be rich not famous.

Never too famous for lemmy

They said, on social media.

It has already been concluded on another post that Lemmy is antisocial media.

"When I grow up I wanna provide a lot of shareholder value".

The more downvotes you have, the more you win

Why would you need to be famous to ignore social media?

You got to face it, you're either famous enough to ignore social media or that outcast friend that has no idea what anybody's doing because no one communicates to their friend circles any other way.

It's not social media if your accounts aren't doxxable in either direction. People who know me in person and know I'm on Lemmy wouldn't be able to figure out which account is mine, and people who encounter my account on Lemmy wouldn't be able to figure out who I am out in the real world.

Same for Instagram, Twitter, Mastodon, basically anywhere but Facebook.

Very often it's the case.

I think content-first social media like forums is far less bad than user-first like Twitter, Instagram, etc.

Or maybe you are someone who never cared about those friends to keep in touch anyway

I'm so grateful that you speak from a great, intimate knowledge of my friends and me.

Please accept this block as a token of my sincerest appreciation of your self-centeredness.

Bro...look what you wrote, then their response, then your response. Read it again. You should probably block yourself.

I reread it, there's nothing there to elicit that response. But hey! I have a block for you too! My feed just looks better every day I block people being ignorant. You should block me too, then we don't have to worry about being a blight on each others days.

Have a good one!

I mean, this isn't a very social social media platform lol.

I have zero real friends on here.

Wait, maybe it is like social media.

content-first social media like forums

user-first like Twitter, Instagram, etc.

Uhh...

user-first

Wut?

On Twitter and Instagram you follow users. That's user-first. You go there to see what so-and-so is saying, regardless of if it's about cats or politics or their dinner plans.

Reddit, lemmy, and traditional web forums are content first. You go to the video games subforum to talk about games, and the sports forum to talk about sports. You often don't even read the user names. You're there for the content.

User-first stuff tends to incentivize bad behavior, I think. It becomes more about who's saying it than what's said.

I totally agree with everything you're saying, Steve.
