    It’s not the same category of social media though.

    You’ve got (sorted by best to worst)

    • content sharing/streaming (Youtube, Netflix, Spotify, Soundcloud)
    • “private” messengers (WhatsApp, Signal, FB Messenger)
    • public messengers (Discord, Matrix, Telegram)
    • forums (Reddit, Stackoverflow, Lemmy)
    • microblogs (BlueSky, Twitter, Mastodon)
    • personality cult (Instagram, Facebook, Linkedin)
    • infinite scroll (Tiktok, IG reels)
    • etc.

    Each of these can be called social media, but they serve different purposes and some are more harmful than others



  • This is one of the two factors for the bad reputation of France from US, the other one is the cultural shock that French people prefer genuine conversation and hate small talk, they’d find random american’s conversation superficial and faked.

    I am neighboring France and we have kinda similar culture, though people here tend to dislike some French people for their lack of patience or accountability and their pride, though it’s a stereotype, as always.
