I expect you're right Sandman. I recently registered, but only to access our special 'Village Facebook' during this lockdown. It's been extremely useful as it keeps all the villagers in touch, needs are expressed (shopping, lost cat, escaped pig, things for sale) and met (offers to deliver food, cat has been seen, pig too, hours-of-opening of our little shop etc). I suppose it could be described as banal, but nobody posts daft stuff or shows off with 'look-at-me' posts.

Actually, because I have an unusual surname, I got a 'person you may know' thingy, and it turned out to be a cousin I've never met, my father's brother's son. We exchanged some messages and it really warmed my heart!
