A 3x3 grid titled "What is a social media site?" It has "reach purist", "reach neutral", and "reach radical" as its columns, and it has "structure purist", "structure neutral", and "structure radical" as its rows. There are descriptors for each label. Reach purist says, "A social media site allows users to post messages that can be seen by anyone". Reach neutral says, "A social media site allows users to post messages that can be seen by a target audience." Reach radical says, "A social media site allows users to post messages." Structure purist says, "A social media site is a live service that lives on the Internet, providing feeds of posts to users." Structure neutral says, "A social media site is accessible via a computer." Structure radical says, "A social media site is anywhere people can send messages." The blocks are: Structure purist, reach purist: "Bluesky is a social media site." Structure purist, reach neutral: "Discord is a social media site."
