I've been wondering about what the term social media means. It came into circulation fairly late, around 2010 or so; although we used to have all sorts of phpbb forums prior to that, and nobody bothered calling them social media. Some people say social media are centered on people and their social graphs whereas the older forums were centered around topics. If so, HN would not qualify as social media, nor would reddit.
- awelxtr 4y agoReddit is trying really hard to become a social media and it's giving a lot of tools to users to treat it as such. But I agree with you that the most basic (or old) experience of reddit is not of a social media platform.
