But what about all the memes I'd miss

I disagree. I think it’s the same. Especially the time invested.

Social media platforms tend to have a major backing and all-encompassing environment to them, and they're usually based around a very specific niche format - Facebook has posts, Twitter has tweets, Instagram has pictures, Snapchat has (short term) pictures, so on and so forth

They also have advertising built into them most times and are created for profit, whereas most forums tend to be niche, but aren't as advertising intensive, don't have the software engineers and designers planning a way to make the user stay connected to it, and aren't as data intensive

To me, a forum like KTT isn't really social media, unless you just encompass any environment on the internet where people talk as social media, then I guess half of the internet is a social media platform

KTT is no different than twitter from a user aspect. Anonymous users that post random stuff that you engage with.
It has a news section, music section, life section, politics etc. it’s literally update by the minute. You can like posts. You can post memes and gifs. You can get banned lol. It’s literally the same thing IMO

And to me the biggest thing is the time investment if youre engage on ktt for multiple hours a day, it’s def the same effect.

Twitter's hashtag and trending page function are different. Their method of advertising to major companies makes them extremely different from a smaller forum like KTT2. Data collection from Twitter is different. Yes, you can post pictures and things here, but they tend to be from other websites. You're just referencing it here, instead of it being hosted here and it being a primary function of KTT2.

KTT2 doesn't have the function to share your posts to other websites like most social media websites. It doesn't allow you to host/livestream/upload/download directly from the site. You're not really adding people or private messaging them (there is a function apparently, but I'm still not sure on how that works?). There are periods of registration verification to prohibit mass user sign-up/bots.

KTT to me lacks the function of social media websites, the personalization of a user (beyond an avatar and name), and the intimacy of social media platforms. Sure, you can tell us who you are in your posts, but for the most part, it's not really social outside of the topics we engage in that tend to be niche

to me, by what ur saying, anything on the internet where people can post/talk is social media

I quit all social media six years ago and never looked back. I do waste more time here than I probably would if I still had it though lol.

It was around the 2016 election in the US, and everyone on my feed was getting increasingly political, and I realized I never posted anymore and was tired of it, figured I’d come back but just never did.

what do you do in your spare time?

I got more into music so that led me to KTT1 and here. I started playing more games, watching more shows that I never paid attention to, read more books. I have been looking for a new creative outlet tbh.

And I did lose some, but the friends I wanted to stay in contact with just switched to texting me and the rest, good riddance.
