imho we don't adequately label social networks according to whether they promote publisher/follower patterns or reciprocal/discussion patterns
Journos, businesses, institutions etc. first want to push things out to as many as possible, then to see "mass engagement" (likes and memes) etc. that doesnt require them costly (and risky) replies
The underlying protocols and UI may support both patterns (at the same time!) but its a totally different experience.
