Which is best to code a social media site in? Ruby on Rails or Drupal?

If you are doing coding you would have to use Ruby on Rails.

Ruby on Rails is a programming framework, which a social media site can be coded on.

Drupal is a CMS, which, while a social media site can be built on top of, requires much less programming knowledge, and wouldn't be considered "coding", it would be configuring it to allow user registration and set up specific pages.

Not correct question. Both are best.
It is you choose and depend from you own skills.

You don't code in Drupal. Drupal is a CMS written in PHP (And unless you're creating custom modules you won't be doing a lot of coding in PHP using Drupal, either).

RoR, on the other hand is a coding language (Ruby) used as part of a framework (Rails), which requires much deeper programming knowledge than a pre-made CMS like Drupal... much more work, but that also means you're not limited by pre-written code. Though personally, as far as frameworks go, I prefer cakePHP over RoR.
