Well you could have both, one emphasising the social aspect, and the
other the networking aspect.

This should be seen as a troll. There are 10s of thousands of
newsgroups, the vast majority of which have failed. Yet "Yevgeniy S",
who isn't known anywhere on Usenet for discussing this topic, wants a
series of brand-new newsgroups.

Have discussion first. If somehow there is enough discussion to warrant
a separate newsgroup, then bring it up at that time, but there never
will be as "Yevgeniy S" has no interest in starting discussion himself.

I think it best to start with a generic group, and only if traffic
relating to a specific instance becomes overwhelming should more
specific groups be set up.

So, if there were a general ng called rec.networking.social that had
low traffic, there would be no need to set up ngs for subsets like
rec.networking.social.instagram
