This is a forum.

Forums and blogs could be classed as social media, but they predate widespread use of the term, and are fundamentally different from the corporate social platforms.

It's the combination of an individualized engagement algorithm and user-generated content that defines modern social media.

Social media is a terrible for us. Me included. It's addictive - that's why I'm here. It's even worse for kids as it fucks up their social skills development. And we have the power to help them avoid it, just like we were lucky enough to grow up before it. Once they're old enough they can then choose to fuck them selves up, like they can with alcohol, weed, porn, etc.
