If you think about it, atmosphere is social media too
Comment on Millennials: It's ok to mourn the death of social media
ParsnipWitch@feddit.de 1 year agoForums are social media as well, though. They just have different features.
“Social media” are all websites and applications which allow sharing of content between users.

I miss forums. Even on technical forums for a software, there was usually an off topic or random section to hang out in

I fear those sections would look very different today. I watched that unfold in an Otaku forum which was quite nice and peaceful for years. It got radicalised by hateful people until the owner shut it down. The same happened with a gamer forum and several other communities I frequented.

Yeah that’s why it’s a forlorn memory. Forums are way too easy for toxic people to dominate.
