Crypto forums are part of social networks, is this correct?

[target]

From what I have read on some articles the Xenforo forum script is forcing users to enable 2fa to forums using their forums. This is the reason why some forums are already requiring 2fa which is quite odd because this can be censored just like the social media sites we are using.

You can just post and still be anonymous in forums one day if Simple Machines are going to mandate this requirement to its users.

In other words, crypto forums like this one is considered a social media site?

Well I still don’t consider it as a social media - it doesn’t look anything like the modern social media platform or typical social media platforms, it’s true that they are both being used in similar ways (with some differences between them).

In terms of structures and the way information are being presented we can already see some differences between the both of them.

I also say that forums are not social media, because forums provide more information and discussion, not a place to share all things, which are sometimes useless, only aimed at showing off achievements or flexing, nothing more.

we just look at it in terms of features and uses are very different, in the forum there are only topics for discussion, even in the forum it is not free to send private messages to someone because the forum has its own rules which are different from social media.. people who say that this forum is the same as social media, I suggest they should be careful and check again whether their opinion is correct or wrong.

everyone has their own opinion, and I think in the forum we can discuss more completely and in detail. if you say that the forum is not social media, it depends on who says it because for me the forum can be a social media because we can get information here and find new friends in the forum even though as you said we have limitations to send messages to other users.

The forum is also a communication tool to continue discussing crypto so I am also sure that the forum is a good enough place so that I am also very comfortable in the altcoinstalks forum to continue learning crypto.
All forums must also have applicable rules, besides having extensive experience in the latest technology, the forum also provides the freedom to communicate with various members around the world. I also feel that Altcoinstalks is very friendly to discuss with all members and the crypto forum is also a social network and I agree.

When a forum script like Xenforo asked the admins that had been using their script to mandate users of 2fa, the users reacted in disgust to the admin. But then form the invested users who have been making business and wanted to belong to a community, they just comply to it.

But some users may really stop using the forum due to the violation of privacy.

Should the members be spammed and will their phones receive warnings if their post are political?

you are right forum as a means of communication and can discuss with many members so that we gain knowledge and experience so that we can invest well. because in investing knowledge is needed and in the forum we can get it all.
I also get crypto knowledge from the forum and until now still survive here.

Actually, social media is also good for learning crypto, but as far as I know, it is not as complete as in forums because forums always explain in detail about the crypto that was created. Maybe my view for social media like IG and X is to explain about crypto only in outline. While in the forum there is a lot of knowledge about crypto, even to the details for this crypto so that I and you also understand more about crypto in forums than on social media.

I also get crypto knowledge from the forum and until now still survive here.

Seeing you present in altcoinstalks since 2018 I really admire your integrity to be present in the altcoins forum. 2018 is not a short time and I respect you as a highly dedicated member in altcoinstalks and continue to seek knowledge about crypto in this forum.

I think for the fact that we are commenting and communicating through this platform and learning new things, not just only learning but meeting with new people from different walks of life, I think we can say it's a medium of communication and information dissemination because we learn new things here which makes it a media.

The only difference is that this platform users operates anonymously and nobody knows each other here except the fact that we have local board which we meet with our locals to discuss things further but don't know each other and another thing is that unlike others were you can upload pictures of yourself, one can not do that here as to maintain their privacy and remain unknown. This is what I can say is the little difference between this platform and others but all the same, communication still takes place on both platforms and information is disseminated to the masses..

Crypto forum is a great place to communicate and share information here even though only as anonymous where we do not know each other in the real world because of the distance. Friends here may start to meet and get close to their fellow countrymen, but with friends from other countries they only communicate online because they are separated by distance.

Yes indeed, this is similar to the function of a social network, but here it is more anonymous and indeed anonymous, it should be. It's just that, compared to other social media, the discussion in this forum is more towards the measured and serious, and not for random complaints and challenges like those in other social networks. Many discussions and interactions are always right on target, on topic, and directed. can't just be arbitrary and careless. but even so, there is a strong bond that can be established between members in this forum, who have the same view of cryptocurrency, who love crypto, and over time love crypto more and more with all its conditions.

This is a place where we can learn from in several crypto forums where if we learn to broaden the experiences of others, those we do not come across in our day to day realities. This interaction not only enriches us but it also enables to have deep understanding of the factors that impact the crypto space around the globe. Hence while communication is done through the internet results achieved are real and have substantial value.

Conversely, distance does not downgrade the nature of debate possible between people or lower the level of polylog exposing some people to others. On the contrary, the different backgrounds make the color of conversation, which is a special richness for the society. These relationships can also be used to expand on a list of connexions even if the relationship is limited to online. This way keen visitors can contribute towards the growth of the forum and the interaction must be mutually beneficial to everyone on the forum.

Although it may not be important for some of us at all whether the forums should be considered a social media or not. The question to most probably should be answered is is submitting docs a fine idea?

To make it clear is that if forums like this one is considered a social media, are you okay if the admin will ask your phone number and perhaps kyc docs?

Social media for hobbyist and enthusiasts where they stay in a specific niche where they are interested in. I started interacting with forums way back  I think 2012 or 2013 and that really helps me a lot of ideas about anything. I find new friends and started to share anything I know when I was once a phreaker but that came to an end when I discover Bitcointalk and later on Altcointalks when I started get interested in cryptocurrency. Forums are quite cool to me and very informative of course.

Yes participating in crypto forums is great way to learn from people with different views and experiences worldwide. This helps us understand global crypto trends better. By the way we interact online knowledge gained is real and valuable. Distance does not limit discussions instead of this it adds diverse perspectives and broadening our understanding. These online connections can open our networks and mutual growth benefiting individuals and community. With sharing knowledge and engaging in meaningful conversations we create good and informative space where everyone benefits.
