This article is very weird considering that I am using BuddyPress for the last 5 years.

BuddyPress is something that makes WordPress more social. It is for the users who wanted to build a tiny (or even large) community on their WordPress powered website. With the help of bbPress, you can turn any WordPress site into a fully pledge social network.

That's it. BuddyPress is a social media platform on WordPress. Period.
