I don't know about you but I'm here for the comments sections, i.e. to socialize. That counts as social media IMO. Socializing with random users and not followed accounts, is still socializing.

To clarify why I think Lemmy is not a forum: in my eyes, forums are set up by the admins, only the admins can decide which subforums exist and what's allowed in them. Lemmy and reddit are not simple forums because they allow any user to create a subforum and make those choices and decisions, that traditionally are reserved for admins. It's an extremely important difference and makes Lemmy much more of a general social platform and not a focused forum.

I totally disagree on both counts: forums are social media, and Lemmy is not a mere forum. Lemmy is a platform where people can create forums, and many of those forums (communities) exist mainly to socialize.

I'll give you that some forums (both on Lemmy and otherwise) that have a clear defined topic - such as tech support for a particular thing - are somewhat different from "social media", but even in those three are often regulars who use the forum to socialize with each other. Any forum with an "off-topic" subforum is social media in my book, in a very real sense (not just technically).

But hey, we can disagree on this and it's fine.

Lemmy isn’t social media.

What in the heck is it then?

[–] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 10 months ago

I see. I missed that word in the question, and I didn't remember that definition anyway.

That's for low magnification professional microscopes, like that thing jewelers use (apparently called a loupe)

Edit: damn, loupes are typically 10x so they would literally be deciscopes.

I would say instead: we unlocked a new research tree. We still need to research it, and once it's done, new gear will be available to buy.

Deciscope for the awful toy ones that don't really work

As a tall man I can tell you that it's not just a short person problem.

This is not the first time the play store removes an app for absolutely no reason and then refuses to explain why it did so, and it won't be the last. Usually they don't just reinstate the app for no reason.

I don't think it was a mistake, but even if it was, they do not have proper communications to resolve such mistakes.
