They kinda do achieve the goals, at a certain level.
Making video calls to loved ones? Sharing photos with family, without hitting some 2MB size limit on e-mails? There are lots of options these days.
If I like quilting and I want to connect with other quilters around the world? Facebook and Reddit have me covered.
Meeting up with friends I already know? Whatsapp will do a solid job.
A modern version of IRC, for ephemeral informal chat, organised around subject areas? Discord has just the thing.
These clearly are attempts at connecting people. Just we've got an "Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation" in spite of them, or as a side-effect of them, for whatever reason.
