The term "social media" is somewhat vague and did not become an understood term or much used until the widespread rise of smartphones that was well after early World Wide Web Internet arose only when higher bandwidths became available. What has evolved as "Social Media" as used today is different from earlier era lower bandwidth WWW image poor Internet web forums just as web forums were different from the earlier Usenet text only era. So difference followed the rise in available bandwidth for the masses.

Because this is a vague issue, trivially debated, when I use the term to be clear, it is usually qualified as "post smartphone social media". As such IMO narrowly, do not consider this forum "Social Media" as the term has evolved to become though others, especially those that only began using the Internet in this later era after 2005, tend to disagree. Although web forums today now support imagery and multimedia that has been a slow late stage development. All this has also followed the evolution of personal computers that even when the first smartphones and social media sites like Facebook arose about 2005 including first generation Apple iPhone, were still not widespread in use beyond workplaces and the technically savvy.

And NO despite being involved in all this in my career am not interactively on any post smartphone social media.
