Theres not really anything social about social media, if anything, social media encourages people to be distant from each other and in their own little world/bubble. There are people nowadays who won't do anything in life if theres not a picture or video to post and comment about. They live to be seen on social media, YouTube, or reality TV, where everything is staged. What happened to enjoying what you were doing so much at the time that you didnt think to film it, you already missed your opportunity to film it and it didnt matter, you got to be human for a few minutes, you were as close to who you really were as you get, no image. That must have ended in the 90s with VCR's for some people.
Social media provides the illusion of being part of a large network, meanwhile some people are getting rich via this platform. There was a time before social media where people actually knew each other in real life and had actual life experience with the other person, rather than the virtual image of someone on a computer screen.

A person who doesn't have any friends to go outside with so resorts to chat rooms and online forums instead and generally prefers text or phone interaction than face to face.
Zach "I'm going to go out to a party tonight and get laid."
Dan "Nobody invited me to this party and nobody has ever invited me to a party."
Zach "That's too bad."
Dan "Well I'm used to it so for my interaction tonight I am going to go get it online with all of the other social rejects out there."
Zach "Have fun with that while I'm out here getting real interaction."
Dan *Sighs* "I'm such a social reject and a loser."

the methodical removal of dissent and masculinity from public discourse via feminine-based terms of service (anti-hate speech guidelines) and feminine policy (diversity, equity, inclusion), enacted by other users
When women call me an incel for saying women would rather date a good looking guy instead of an ugly guy, this is social castration.

Social hacking is a form of networking used online to gain otherwise unattainable information. Some may refer to it as manipulation, but it's just a research tool.
I am socially hacking into a group of friends to be invited to a discord server with leaked government official documents.

Clothing line used by antifa to identify each other on the street. Not unlike the hanky code used by San Fran gays, or antifash Twitter rose emojis used for rose city antifa.
