Ha ha no, anonymous message boards are different. They even have a different name. Instead of social media, they're usually called message boards or forums.

When people say social media, they mean Truth Social, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Tik Tok, Youtube, Pinterest, etc., etc. I've never had a social media account and never will. (BTW plenty of forum members have expressed that exact same sentiment right here on GAW.)

That said, people are free to call message boards social media if they like. Freedom of speech FTW

this is more a Forum than Social Media in the common sense of the word.

Social Media Platform... the place you are on, right now.

Nah. This is just an anonymous message board. I scarcely glance at usernames. It's all about the messages and information, not the individual people.

I draw a sharp line of demarcation between message boards and social media, which is ALL about people, their GROUPS they "identify" with, their hobbies, their life patterns and friends and family, photos, etc., and followers followers followers!! LIKES!!! LIKES!!! Pleeeze, pleeeze LIKE me!!!

No one else has to make that distinction. Each to his own (or, one might use the worn-out expression "You do you" :).
