Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Not sure if you're distinguishing social media from messenging. I am, so as far as discussing social media:
I don't. Why would I? In Germany, at least for the 30+ population WhatsApp is the basic consensus for instant messaging (albeit there seems to be a trend towards instagram as a messenger - sharing instagram handles instead of phone numbers among younger people?). I'll have to accept that, or not communicate.
Anyways, I have a handful of people who are on Signal, a couple of people on Telegram, one on Threema, and I installed them all and use DM Me to pick the "best available" option if I need to start a conversation with someone and can't just reply to a notification.
As for other social media (lemmy), people either know it, or they don't care either way. Zero reason for discussions.
