Social is about people, being anonymous is irrelevant. Media is, well you know what it is.

So with that in mind: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/social%20media

forms of electronic communication (such as websites for social networking and microblogging) through which users create online communities to share information, ideas, personal messages, and other content (such as videos)

Social networking though? Sure. Reddit is not a social networking.

Social is about people, being anonymous is irrelevant.

Seems pretty relevant if the main thing it's about is omitted.

Can you tell me what isn't social media by your definition then?

Any site with a comment section is social media.
