Yeah, that makes sense. Very helpful to define terms. We don't do it enough. We can disagree on definitions but if I understand your definition then I am closer to understanding what you are saying. This gets skipped to often. We forget there are no rulers of language and meaning. We all define it or adopt them ourselves. We often assume others see words in the same ways we do. This leads to confusion.

Stacker News is social media. So what?

I would argue that SN is not a social media. It's a social network. Let me think out loud here..

These definitions I'm using more and more to point out the diff between a social media and a social network.
Social media = a consuming-first digital place with people
Social network = a interaction-first digital place with people
