Over 50 per cent of users may shun social media by 2025 as misinformation, toxicity grow::A Gartner survey found that 53 per cent of consumers believe the current state of social media has decayed compared to either the prior year or five years ago.
Forums are definitely social media, but I like to think of them as the less shitty kind.
True, whenever I see “social media” brought up though I’m always picturing Facebook, Twitter, Myspace. This and reddit and forums definitely are a form of though. Even bbs back in the day.
I tend to divide them based on how much they want to manipulate and sell me shit. Also how much of my personal info they require.
IRC was my social media back in the day lol
Still use it from time to time haha. I’m old, recently discovered how much discord has taken over as a forum/chat/irc sort of replacement.
I mostly just use forums like Lemmy and Kbin these days.
