Forums came before social media. It's a forum.

Forums don’t have algorithmic front page and upvote/downvote system

You can’t bump a thread to the top of HN so everyone sees it

No, people just keep reposting the same shit over and over instead. But the end effect is very similar, dang even links to old posts almost every time.

I don't think that quite makes it social media though.
