Ubuntu is a major distro and as for many other major distros too, a multimedia port in spite of itself grow up. I doubt that the big social networks are useful for anything good on this planet. IMO the big social networks are sandboxes for anything that doesn't fit to a good forum. There are forums for every domain. It's more useful to be present in forums and mailing lists that are related to computers and/or multimedia. The big social networks collect and share data for marketing of big companies and for misuse by governments, IOW for organisations that are against the spirit of transparency. I didn't search for crap on Facebook and Co, I just used a search engine to search for Facebook and Co in generell. All hits linked to crap. Black and white opinions about world affairs and scatology even when talking about banalities, e.g. a potato in a potato chips bag is all search engines will link to, resp. it's listed on top of the social networks by them self. That's the homepage of reddit. I did not pick some odd exception, I just clicked on the links provided there: https://www.reddit.com/ There are no serious links I missed, there's crap only. Public relation on such a forum is like public relation written with a permanent marker under the blue light of a railway station toilet.
