You'd think the main aspect of social media is interacting with other users, as opposed to passively consuming content.
There's lots of interaction on mainstream SM, I partake in a little guilty pleasure with TT and while there isn't as much depth to it as say a Reddit or Threadiverse comment section would be, there's still plenty of pleasant interactions IME
I'm not saying that tiktok etc. isn't social at all, I'm saying that forums are also a social medium. The passively consumed content I'm talking about is stuff like news articles or personal blogs without a comment section.
Oh I see, yeah, that's definitely a big line, but there's room for more nuanced lines as to what we think of as modern SM.
After all, forums are just an evolution of Usenet discussion groups and BBS' and the Threadiverse/Reddit are an evolution of forums. They're all social media in one form or another, but few would consider it to be modern SM.
