    When there’s a rule that benefits social media sites, then they’re definitely social media. When there are laws to restrict social media sites, “we’re definitely not social media”.

    Reddit claims that while it enables online interaction it does not enable online social interaction.

    Reddit says that for an interaction to be social it has to happen “because of a particular user’s relationship with or interest in another user as a person; indeed, in most cases the identity of a user on Reddit is not even known to other users”.

    Yeah, that’s a bit of a reach.

    They’d have a stronger case for saying it’s not social media if they admitted that it’s 90% bots.
