FR differs from social media at least in this respect: We could go years never discussing our personal lives without taking away anything that attracts people here. Not so with social media.
Social media is the creation of a collective organization in a “virtual” manner. For example, not only are we generally of the same mind, but people reach out for spiritual and advice help here all of the time.
I interact with the same people here every day—and have been for twenty years.
I have much more interaction with people on FR than I do on Facebook.
