Social media is on the decline. Instagram is all ads. No one's posting on BeReal. TikTok is for influencers. The new place for sharing: group chats.

I don't consider this or reddit social media. I don't know anyone, nor do I care to.

Instead it is like a collection of forums since forever like in the bbs days.

I pick and choose what rooms to go in and learn something. But it isn't about me, or staying connected. You know, the social part.

This and Reddit are 100% social media. Right now, writing this, we are socializing on this media.

Maybe I'm wrong, but this is how I've viewed it for years

nah. Social Media has a sort of implied entertainment attached to it, which is not a good description of, e.g., this very discussion. This -can- be social media if you're just lurking, but for us conversing here this is now a forum. We're sharing thoughts and discussing.
