There is so much of noise on social media about networking. But I feel social media is the frontend of the social world.
While, social networking is about registering with each other's ideas, thoughts and products in a deeper way, which is missing from many social media platforms!
Yes. Social media is performative: Facebook, YouTube, Instagram. Social network is collaborative: Discord, Reddit, IndieHacker.
Twitter is pretty good for networking too. BTW is Reddit that good for building relationships?
Maybe not so much relationships as "registering with each other's ideas, thoughts and products in a deeper way"
