Short excerpt from a talk by Stacey Lauren distinguishing online communities from mainstream social media. The speaker argues that community platforms differ from TikTok, LinkedIn, and Instagram because they allow private, two-way interactions where members can safely express themselves and connect, unlike public social media where engagement is one-to-many and less safe for deeper sharing.

And I think what is really important for people to know is that a community is different than regular social media. You know, it's different than TikTok, it's different than LinkedIn, it's different than Instagram and all these things, because those platforms are great, but they're more of a platform that's one way. So you're posting and people are engaging with that one post, but they're not really engaging with each other. Or if they are engaging with each other, it's not on a private platform. So they're not safe to be able to really express how they feel and get connected together.
