Social Media vs. Forums

[Nomad]

I think when it comes to having a better discussion, especially a discussion on a serious matter, forums are in many ways better than social media. You can talk about almost anything on forums while remaining anonymous.

Yes, I like forums for the discussion-type of topics there are. Social media like Facebook seems as if you're often posting for validation through likes and comments. Social media also seems to trigger more jealousy because most people post about the positives in their life and when you're not doing so well at the time, it can make you jealous of their successes. The only social media I use is Reddit and I don't post or up/downvote anything, Reddit is probably the closest social media to an overabundant message board, which is why I browse it. Forums have been my life for the past decade and every time I try using a social media like Facebook I just end up either deleting or deactivating my account.

I prefer the forums discussions. You can remain anonymous on forums than on social media.

I use Twitter because I'm a content creator but i personally prefer forums to social media. I find there's much less drama on a forum than there is on places like Twitter or facebook.

The simple truth is that Social media is always going to be bigger than forums now. More people are used to being there than on forums.

You can be anonymous on Facebook by making a page. Each page owner has a profile associated with that page. I do this for my drumming stuff cause using my real name annoys people cause they wouldn't want to be spammed all the time.
