Now we need a Facebook for sharing photos, videos, events and posts with our friends and adjacent social circles.

  - photos :: instagram
  - videos  :: tiktok, youtube
  - posts :: HN, reddit, dev.to, substack, mailing lists (yes, people still use those)
  - events :: messengers (telegram, whatsapp, etc), email.

Missing from all these is a social network of "our friends and adjacent social circles". And perhaps, on top of it, a service aggregating output of all the ones you listed, so as a user, I can have (for a lack of better term) "people-first" mode of interaction. By this I mean, I want it to answer the question, "what have X been up to recently?", where X is a scope I can alter - from "all my friends" to "a particular group" to "particular friend".

I.e. what Facebook used to be, before the "great social network unbundling".
