Nah, forums are more organic old school is cool.

Forums are social media as well, though. They just have different features. "Social media" are all websites and applications which allow sharing of content between users.

I think a forum was just less anonymous. I never remember any name on Lemmy, for example. On the forums ~back in the day~ I actually got to know the people. We even had forum meetings in real life.
