Comment on Is This Social Media?

  But it’s not. Someone edited wikipedia to put a definition only cited in one business article from 2010. It was never the common definition until news companies started calling anything they didn’t understand “social media” because it became a catch all. Forums aren’t social media.

    You’re pretending most people wouldn’t call Reddit social media. That’s absurd.

      Thankfully I think most people are idiots who wouldn’t be able to name what their operating system is so I also don’t give one shit what they think Reddit is either. Turns out most of the population can’t use a dictionary or we wouldn’t be calling idiots Nimrods.
