Honestly as an older Gen Z who has used the internet far longer than social media existed I'm a bit mindblower by this question. This is not social media and we are in contact. Most forums aren't social media. You can argue that reddit and discord are not social media or at least don't have to be used that way. When I was a teen I stayed in contact with my friends through e-mail. You can also stay in contact via shared text documents like one of my friend groups has a shared google drive folder and we sometimes chat using the text document and share pictures over that. Also you don't have to be online. You can also use phone to send sms or call people, send letters etc.
