How are the small communities called "communes" similar or different from how we use social media platforms today?

We could say that there are many similarities, taking into consideration that the big difference is the digital aspect that today allows people to keep them connected through the Internet.

Communes have always shared something in common such as belief systems, ideas, similar backgrounds, resources, interests, and sometimes property.

Today, social media has allowed people to form "virtual" communities in a similar fashion to what communes do. Through these social media groups, people share their ideas, concerns, activities, and feel connected day and night.
