I think there are only three types of modern social media: Facebook, Pinterest, and then virtually everything else. (I don't consider Reddit to be in this conversation because it's a glorified forum, and those have been around since BBSes).
Facebook was conceived and still largely operates as a social network in the community aspect: you are in touch with your friends and family members for the most part. Facebook has of course tried to deviate from this path in the last decade, but that's still strongly what the site is.
Pinterest is probably the least interactive social media platform in terms of communication between people, but it's probably the most useful, even if it's nothing but a collection of bookmarks.
All the other social media platforms are basically centered around groups of people yelling at influencers in a desperate attempt to be noticed. They are giant dopamine sinks.
