Whilst Meta records who you talk to, when, from where (and where they are) and how often. So of course not for everyone, because not everyone is comfortable with one company knowing so much about you and … your friends … where you go … where they go …
At least with a Discourse instance you aren’t aggregating and cross-referencing so much information since the scope is smaller (although I wouldn’t be surprised if leveraged third party services aren’t doing some of that of course, but there are limits on how far you can escape this).
