With how often we tend to use ffxiah, even though it is providing us a platform to express ourselves anonymously, does it technically count a social media platform? Hmm.
Social media is defined on google as: Websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking.
Any ideas?

I’d make this in chatterbox bud, since it’s not really a vanadiel based question.
FFXI is in the title!

Well, I mean, seeing as it enables people to socialize media over a network, I'd say it's definitely a social media network. A simple Google could have answered that one for you.

Senaki is really bored at school at times and loves to start threads for the sake of “social media”. Lol. At least make a topic that isn’t so obvious bruh...

I define it as a place to waste time while doing mundane tasks.

Who is coming out with the FFXI mobile chat client app? Could be worth millions!

Actually, I had a friend ask me to help her with a project at school; so my asking of this question, while incredibly insightful, was done for selfless reasons. *Expects praise*

I would consider a forum like this to be more of a proto-social media platform. It's not quite as personal as a Facebook or...Google+...but did pave the way for those to exist and flourish.

So cliche (simply google the meaning of this word or start another thread asking for the definition) my friend.
But yes, I agree that this did in a way pave the way for many social media related platforms. Discord in fact if I’m not mistaken.

Sure, but at the same time FFXIAH feels very different from Facebook or Snapchat because you still have that sense of anonymity AND the primary focus is on a game, not...life. So it technically is but doesn't feel like it is social media.

Social networking kind of? Maybe? Networking via the game. I spend half my game time in skpye calls ***talking my ls and joking around while we wipe to worms in Gustaberg.

Mostly is? A lot of people are connected using their real name, and subject can be anything, with a LOT of people using it for "real life". But it's also the most limited because of the short character limit (which has since been changed I believe). It's always been the weakest of social media because of that limit.

Post counts are similar to "Likes", ya? So like by social media rules, I'm kinda popular?

In many ways, yes. I would, however, consider FFXI itself a social media. It's basically a global chat room that you can also be invited into a smaller room at the same time, while being able to send group messages to your LS/party, and PMs via /yell. While in this chat room, you can also go and slaughter innocent animated rabbit, sheep, and fight dragons.
