Another thing to think about might be the intersection of how you like to socialize online vs. what kinds of engagement a platform facilitates.
For example, FF isn't my go to place to make social connections. Rather, because of the format (forum) and the active users, I experience FF as kinda the feedism brain trust. I like engaging here mostly on a problem-solving basis (like this!). I love it for that, and have for a long time.
But based on how I like to socialize online, tumblr is a much better fit for me. I haven't really made any social connections here, but I have there.
No site can be everything to everyone, but kudos to the FF team for making this site so much to so many!
