I don’t use social media unless you count Reddit. Though I think of that as more of asocial media

Reddit is, as per definition, no social media, but a forum. On Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter and probably Tiktok (I don't use it so I don't know exactly), people you know are suggested for you to follow/add. Likes are also often public. Reddit is way more anonymous. If you fuck up on, let's say Twitter, by saying something controversial, people are gonna remember you for that. That works for both good and bad things. Your history on Reddit is way less important than on other sites. If you get up- or downvoted depends on what you say, not what you said.

But you can, if you choose, use reddit as social media. I’d define social media as anything that allows users to publish content and connect with each other. Reddit also operates as a forum, but a forum generally doesn’t have the ability to follow individual users.

I don't see reddit as social media tbh, its just a place where I can read about stuff, nothing really social about it, I don't know you, you don't know me.

Implying there is anything social about Facebook and the likes.

It’s less anonymous and some people, myself included, only follow people on instagram that they actually know in real life

Hell of a lot more social than reddit at least, you have to add and see people on facebook, ew.

I use Reddit and YouTube, and technically Snapchat although I haven't touched it in about a year.
