Good social media sites in 2021?

Question

What social media/social sites do you recommend?Reddit seems fairly niche. Facebook and LinkedIn seem very spammy. I don't understand Mastodon. I love Hacker News, and it seems more "social news" discussion than a way to connect with people for offline interaction.How do you connect with people, personally and professionally?

Reddit is great if you find the right subs and lock your feed down to just those.
I’ve actually really been enjoying TikTok now that the algo has my interests dialed in.

Not sure if it's useful to meet people offline, but MetaFilter seems like a high quality forum.
