Hey, I'm fully on board with your defense of social media, but I think in this case the commenter is just saying "i miss the social media we had before they started calling it 'social media'". Even 2004 facebook fits this description, and I'm inclined to agree. I miss social media when it felt more like IRC and craigslist, when facebook was a glorified personal guestbook, etc.
