Does 4chan qualify as 'social media'?

Yeah, but with less normies.

Define social media. Is a BBS "social media"? Is a mailing list "social media"?

4chan is to social media as Facebook is to meaningful social relationships.

>>60651708

Not anymore than a forum qualfies.

Peasants like you make me sick. there are plenty of Normans on 4chan, and you """people""" should stop posting

>Is a BBS "social media"?
Yes.

>Is a mailing list "social media"?
It depends on how it's being used. If it's primarily for socializing, then yes. If it's the semi-automated mailing list for a software bug-tracker, for example, then no. I.e., cock.li is social media but GNU's help-debbugs is not.

Yep

I think 4chan would technically qualify as 'social media' as it is defined, but probably wouldn't qualify as social media in the way that most people think of social media.

It's an electronic medium in which people communicate. That makes it social media.

The definition of social media is much broader than most people think. Even email is a type of social media.

>>60651708
Given the default lack of persistent identities, along with the treatment people who attempt to use them receive, I'd say that no, 4chan is not social media.
It can be social, mind you. There are occasionally thread long discussions between people whose written voices are distinctive enough to identify them, but that seldom lasts through an entire thread, let alone from thread to thread.

On anonymous boards, not really.

On boards with id numbers (like /soc/) then yes, I would say so.

4chan has too many blog posts to be "antisocial media"

none of the other things apply to me except the last two, but running is for fags and I don't have time to listen to 1000 albums

If that picture was a little more zoomed out so you could see more of the ground, and there was an open manhole with the cover moved aside and a man with a bad hair cut sticking his head out, 4chan would be that guy.

>>60651772
Can you teach me how to wear shoes I bought at the mall?
