Lemmy is a media that allows you to be social.

Forums are also social media.

by that definition bathroom walls are social media.

They are social, a busy bar bathroom? You'll make a friend for life in there. There's little media though. Unless they have TVs inside the bathroom/stalls, and I wouldn't really count music since the focus isn't the music but doing your business.

Well, you can make it social with a large drill bit through the stall walls.

I like how you think that's a clever rebuttal, when it's actually correct.

Social medium, but close enough.
