          Yes, those parts of those particular platforms are troublesome and should be avoided. But all that has to do with the word Social Media is the fact that they are one. That doesn’t mean Lemmy isn’t one. It merely means Lemmy doesn’t yet stoop to such practices. Let’s not run up strawman arguments, shall we?
