Social media is literally nothing without its users. Do you think it's technically challenging to create a forum, or a feed of brain farts? A few rich people seem to have forgotten that recently.

    Literally all of the major social media platforms are more or less intro to compsci levels of things. I think when I was first learning rails one of the tutorials was how to build a twitter clone. Granted, this is simplifying and there is a lot to be said for scaling and the more esoteric things, but yeah it's barely about the platform/software.
