Oddly enough, Discord is the social platform I spend the most time on. Me and many of my close friends and their close friends spend a lot of time talking, posting, chatting there. Collectively there's maybe 20 heavily active users with plenty more slightly active or inactive. For us it works because we all spend a lot of time at our computers, so we're pretty much always available to just chill in a voice channel, talk, stream, play, etc. I like it because it's a relaxed and semi-private space. It's like a virtual living room, more or less. Usually everybody is bringing in the content they like most from other platforms too, like twitter, tiktok, etc
I used to spend a LOT of time on facebook but over the past few years, I noticed my posts are few and far between. I think my last FB post was over two months ago, and it was just a re-share from the "your memories" thing. I don't even use the messenger except for one group chat to keep in touch with some people outside of the aforementioned group.
The closest second for me is twitter, but I only use that to scroll through memes to repost into our discord or follow updates from people of interest I'm interested in (usually gamedev or softdev studios).
For the most part I really don't like being on facebook or twitter. Too much of it is ads, attention bait, or clout/snark farming. Particularly I can't stand facebook's "laugh react anything I don't understand" culture (twitter has the same thing more or less, just in different form). It's something that seems to bleed into most open social "zones"; discord is no exception, but it's easier to avoid them when you can join and leave those "zones" rather than being algorithmically placed into them. Or you can just restrict them to your friends.
Over the past few years, discord has done a good job catering towards this type of "virtual hangout" approach at creating social zones. I can think of a million imaginary horribles they could implement ruin their platform, but I couldn't tell you which would have the biggest impact on me.
