Interaction through a medium is social media i guess. But i wouldn’t call ist that. Lemmy, WhatsApp and YouTube aren’t really social media for me. I don’t throw personal stuff into the void of people i more or less don’t know in hope to get likes.
I would argue that a forum is a type of social media. It’s very different in that it’s as anonymous as you want it to be. But it is still a place where people visit for the purpose of socializing
it’s more of a forum than social media if you ask me

it’s Social Media once there are ads and blatant anti-user changes

forums existed long before what we call social media was even invented
