The anonymous factor differentiates things.

Can't any social media be anonymous?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Sure but it's not intended to be.

Also a big part of it is imo that you never interact with the same people on sites like reddit or Lemmy, you don't follow anyone or anything.

I often see the same people over and over again on lemmy since its a small community. I even saw the same nicks on reddit often (like shittymorph). But yes it isn't intended to be ego centric like other sites.

Good old asocial network.

So Twitter isn't a social media?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

The "social" aspect is up to debate.

Usernames though. Anonymous would be something like 4chan
