I miss LiveJournal and to some extent even Usenet. I think I miss what FB used to be, maybe seven-eight-nine years ago.

I agree that there are some people who seem to have social contact even on a social-contact-hostile platform like FB, and DING DING DING you’ve hit the nail on the head: those are people who are cared about by others and valued by others in ways I will never be. And I’m sorry to hear you feel you are in this category as well. It’s a big pile of no fun.
