Words can be invented after the thing they describe. "Social media" was invented when normies started using it, long after nerds started using media to socialise.

    Of course. I’m sure many more words will keep being invented for concepts. Social media to me is more about being a real persona with identity and connecting with people and having followers. It’s also designed to keep you on. Most of the fediverse is about anonymity and we don’t have enough content for doom scrolling.
