Great question, Leo. I'll go through each one quickly in case it's helpful.
A "post" for Reddit, which are then stacked in to "subreddits". The big innovation on Reddit was the upvote/downvote, where most other social network just used a "like" or some sort of +1. You can also add "awards" to posts, something else specific to Reddit.
The "tweet" is the big one for Twitter. They innovated on the "retweet", but like many other of these, offer the "existing technology" like replies, likes, etc. as well. Hashtags was something else added to the Twitter "tweet" primitive.
Discord is the "message", much like Slack, that gets stacked into channels or "servers". Messages can be text, images, both. You can react to messages, etc. When you need to create content in Discord, you use a message.
I'm less familiar with Patreon and OnlyFans these days, but thinking it's the "post" as well—a relatively familiar social media-type post. This stacks in to pages or profiles, which can then be gated, and more. The post is where you create the content, it can be liked, commented on, etc.
Hope this was helpful, let me know if this sparks anything else for you.
Awesome! Always love your insights! What would be the primitives for Twitter, Reddit, Discord, Patreon, and OnlyFans?

Wow, this is an excellent reply! Thank you for your crystal clear insights 🙏
For context— I'm building an exclusive content platform similar to Patreon.
Think YouTube Comments Section, but with Reddit (Upvote / Downvote)— so comments are actually meaningful to all.
