I guess I’m glad I was never a big Twat, so Bluesky wasn’t a place of refuge for me the way Lemmy was when Reddit went off the rails.

It just wasn’t a term yet because it wasn’t popular. But yes, those were social media. IRC was a medium in which you could be social. I was there.
I was there too. It wasn’t a term because marketers didn’t invent the term yet. Key part, it was Marketers that invented the term. Marketers didn’t care before they found a way to use it to manipulate people. You can argue that those thing are “social media”, but not in anyway that makes social media a problem.
Social media invented as a term or not invented as a term, it’s still a place where we can socialize on the Internet. 🤷♂️ I don’t really care what we call it.
