The last time I had a social media account I think was ... myspace lol. And I only made it to connect with a few old HS friends, didn't really use the site. Nope, luvd the usenet in the day, and modern forums were and obvious progression from the usenet downloads during those early pay by the hour internet plans.
The blogosphere is pretty good too, though I haven't run my own for a few years now. Like if you install wordpress on your site (or just use their free site but it's more limited), there are a ton of blog networking tools, way more features than any narrow social media site which are just micro-controlled blogs anyway.
But yeah, all these popular social media sites are pretty fake. You are herded into what they want you to see, slap you down if you don't conform. They want to turn the whole internet into a social media platform with heavily scripted moderation.
