Has not been social for a while, imho. I left Twitter some 7 years ago (or more? Can't remember) because of that feeling.... I joined it when it was first introduced and it was so much different, so much nicer and sincere. Not perfect but really great.
There is still that around here, just we lack more active users and we would also gain a lot by being less.... obsessed with politics. Imho, at least.
As for sharing hobbies: irl gathering are still ok-ish. Alas, oftentimes such event will be wrecked by some asshole trying to turn it into something they can boast about on their social media.
Blogs are still a thing, even though it seems almost impossible to get younger people to read outside of their favorite social media platform, blogs are there, very much alive if slower, and they're as much about sharing passions and hobbies as they ever were when they were trendy.
Blogs being slower is a benefit!
The go go go have to meet unrealistic deadlines for the algorithm pressure from large sites is a negative.
