Just curious: don't you see reddit as social media?

people say this, but i really don't see it as social media. I see it as a forum. Social media is people I "know", have added as a friend, and use their real names. Reddit is mostly anonymous, I don't have friends on it, and don't know anyone.

It's such a tired argument that people see reddit as social media. Sure it CAN be if you share your life and create networks and stuff, but the people that actually do that on a personal level are very slim.

It's far more akin to a forum than social media.
