That's not true. I post on Lemmy and Mastodon, which I consider social media. I don't think that websites that communication based on algorithms aiming to serve unsocial purposes should be considered social media.
I think there's two types really. There's the "hey family, look at my photos and shit that nobody else will care about" social media, and "screaming opinions into the void" social media.
Lemmy and Mastodon are the latter. I guess you can use Mastodon as the former, but I suspect there are better places for that, even if they're currently spread across a dozen instant messaging apps.
From one perspective, all screaming is in the void.
