Except I didn't expand anything. I literally posted the definition from the dictionary.

We aren't just making up the definition of words here.

"The" dictionary, like there is only one. I am sure given ten minutes I could find sites drawing distinctions between chatboards and social media platforms. Anyway, it's all good.

To be fair, I posted a link to every definition search result, not just one single dictionary. But every dictionary essentially mirrors the others. Sure, you can find sites drawing distinctions. But will those come with the legitimacy of Miriam-Webster's or Oxford? I'm comfortable choosing the defintion of any established and reputable dictionary.

But yeah, it's all good. The whole point was as a joke response to BalticFox when he claimed he would leave if this was a social media site. I just posted a link to the definitions with a winky face emoji.

Fine, but if Fox sticks around, you will have failed in your mission.

It was a worthwhile endeavor either way.

Whether anyone here likes it or not, OhioLawyer is correct in saying online forums like this one are considered "social media". You can debate it, but it is a fact that online forums fall under the umbrella of social media.

I don't necessarily like it either, as I also am not a fan of social media like FB, IG, or TikTok, but I participate on a lot of forums and therefore I socialize on social media. Everyone that posts here is doing the same.

Related to the original topic -- thanks for the heads up, Leon, I didn't realize it was such a pain and will be sure to resize all images in the future when posting from an external image hosting site.

No, it's not a "fact." It's a matter of how people think about it.

This is most definitely your opinion and forums absolutely do not fall under social media for all users.

this forum is so much better than social media. I honestly wish we could go back to the good old days of internet forums. Sure, we joke around(like asking Travis why hes always so upset even thought I do like his knowledge) and have the occasional spat, I actually learn a ton from everyone here.

On social media like Facebook or Twitter, it just feels like people are constantly getting fired up or toxic. It’s all about arguing and trying to one-up each other instead of having real conversations or learning anything useful. This place is a whole different vibe, and I love it.
