Definition
网民 (wǎng mín) refers to internet users as a collective group — 'netizens' — and is often used in formal or statistical contexts. 网友 (wǎng yǒu) can also mean 'internet user' but more commonly means an 'online friend' or a specific person you interact with online, so it's more personal and individual.
