The main difference is no personalized algorithm ranking content to increase engagement.

The algorithm has consumed reels/shorts/tiktok/insta. Being extremely inflammatory is rewarded there.

Algorithms don't define social medias, it's just the latest iteration from the main ones.

Is BeReal not a social media because there's no algorithmic feed?
