Fair enough.

Typically what I call Social Media is akin to things such as Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Anything that has a personalized "feed" generated by an algorithm.

Old moderates forums had no personalized anything.

Incidentally, as much as I despise Reddit, this would exclude Reddit from being banned. Last time I used it, it didn't really have a personalized feed (unless things changed ever since).

I could subscribe to subreddits and see the activity on what I subscribed, but anyone with the same subscription list (fully controlled by the user) would see the same activity, so it was not a personalized feed per se.
