      Forums 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 think a forum was just less anonymous. I never remember any name on Lemmy, for example. On the forums ~back in the day~ I actually got to know the people. We even had forum meetings in real life.
