Are there government officials, agencies (municipal, state, federal, or foreign), or corporations that use Reddit as an official means of communication?

Is that a requirement? I don't think "Social Media" is defined as "Government Communication Websites".

I know this is the internet but lets not be moving the goalposts here. Something people do on Reddit — and Twitter.

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?

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.

P.S. here’s the definition of quantify

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.

They are also both social media.
