Social media are basically a replacement for the good old neighbourhood bar where kids used to play flippir/arcade after school, adult got their after work beer and so on.

Then places like sport/art clubs, worker union, political parties are great for socialising.

Finally don't forget that you can socialise with your neighbour, it also contributes to everyone safety

Especially relevant now that public spaces are less and less accessible.
