"Social media" just means a public place where the plebs can upload content and interact with other plebs via the internet without knowing a lick of html, Internet culture, or anything technical really. If they are so lucky, some might even be graced by the attention of a minor internet celebrity, the modern day patricians.
I agree, it all went downhill when we stopped having liturgy exclusively in Ecclesiastical Latin. Plebs can now use internet without knowing HTML too. How will they know their place?
When Internet communities were still a relatively niche thing and I (preteen to early teen) was already on the Internet, I had great dreams that in the future everyone would be on it and this would cause society to be awesome.
Everyone is now on the Internet. This has not made society awesome.
