I never liked Facebook, and now I like it far less. Business ethics have fallen so low the guy who made all the money acted truly astonished that he might have a social obligation to the civilization that let him make all that money.

But yes, social media has really cut into the old social structures like Forums. But it depends: we keep going (and I pay for membership every year) because we are a core of people who have been doing this for years, helping each other, following developments, being encouraging and supportive.

Which is far more valuable than random spouting off and dealing with trolls that happens elsewhere
