Good perspectives as always, thanks! Agreed that the person-to-person social networking aspects have been steadily de-emphasized over time in favor of a more media-focused (and ad-friendly!) approach -- although they're still there.

The framing I remember from the time was that social media was the general category, including social network sites as well as other options. Classic blogs, message forums, media sites with comments, chat rooms -- places where you can't follow other people -- are all examples of social media that isn't a social network site. Of course the people using those technologies are part of social networks, and so are people who aren't even online, so "sites" is load-bearing in that definition! Edelman's The Social Pulpit, from 2009, is an interesting look at how the Obama campaign used social media in general, and social network sites in particular (although leaves out the "sites", sigh).

Terminlology and timing details aside, though, I very much agree with your point that we'd be better off if the focus shifted more to social networks and communities. This to me is what's really important and valuable about fedi -- or about community-oriented stuff in the ATmosphere like Blacksky; it's the community focus that matters, not the protocol!

And I also agree with @futurebird's point about the importance of social media in terms of it being the news and information distribution system of our world. One of the things I really like about the work @MediaRevolution is doing with #MediaLiberationDay is that it's part of a general focus on media as a whole -- and talk about exploring decentralised social networks as part of that.
