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.

    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.

        …for entertainment. For fun.

        I don’t think many of us would come here if it wasn’t fun.
