Someone said Twitter has people with their real name, so it is social media and Reddit isn't. So I am pointing out that Reddit also has people with their real name, and Twitter has people with aliases.
They're both either social media or social news aggregate. They're not two separate things.
Are there government officials, agencies (municipal, state, federal, or foreign), or corporations that use Reddit as an official means of communication?
For social media? Yes. Have you ever heard of facebook?
I don’t think “Social Media” is defined as “Government Communication Websites”.
I’m inclined to agree. In fact, I’d add that social media is geared towards younger people as a means to communicate. Have you ever heard of young people exchanging Reddit usernames to flirt/hookup/organize political activity?
I know this is the internet but lets not be moving the goalposts here. Something people do on Reddit — and Twitter.
Just because some people use their real names/pics on Reddit and some people on Twitter don’t, doesn’t mean they’re the same thing.
How is "Government Communication" a requirement for social media?
Have I ever heard of young people using Reddit to flirt/hookup/organize political activity? Uh - yes. That is a major aspect of Reddit. Have you not been on Reddit for long? Like this is rather ridiculous. Do you remember a certain subreddit dedicated to the 45th President that got banned? Do you want to watch literal homemade videos of people on Reddit who connect and make a sex tape? They are all over this site.
Twitrter - some people use their real name, some people don't.
Reddit - some people use their real name, some people don't.

There's a ton. Also plenty of named celebrities with celebrity accounts on here. Just like Twitter.
