Yes! Exactly this.

Facebook is your online second life. It’s actually you.

With that, it doesn’t make as much sense to be the place to mindlessly scroll dance videos, or discuss politics with strangers.

It does, however, make for a great place to discuss local things, discuss hobbies, buy and sell things, message people, keep up with friends and family

I think there are plenty of cases! Groups, especially. There are lots of local community groups where your real identity is useful. Like “I need a dog walker, any recommendations” or “anyone a math tutor?” Or “looking to buy a car”.
