People here like to say “I don’t use social media; I use forums” like there is a difference between the two. There isn’t.

Forums are places where people post and comment on user generated content, other comments themselves.

    You know it’s a different thing.

    No. I’m arguing it is the same.

    The term was coined to make this distinction.

    The term is defined as “websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking.” Forums do that.
