How do humans normally interact? I normally interact with some of my best friends over text chat. At one point, I almost exclusively knew my best group of friends through IRC. I've hung out with people in person without speaking any words at all, because that group was deaf (okay, I lie - I probably flubbed and said things a few times) "Normal" communication is pretty varied - Think of for how many people Snapchat is the primary way they communicate with their friends. You can probably say that the median conversation looks like two people about a foot apart flapping their lips, but it veers in many directions from there. My idea of effective group communication, and mine alone, is that I'm frequently bullshitting in one space where chitchat and cat pictures are being posted, and talking about serious matters in another space where threads are long but infrequent. Simultaneously and privately, I will intersperse chitchat and serious conversations with team members 1:1 in private chats - I expect most planning to be done in public and "work" to be done in private. I will frequently, say 4 times a day for 15 minutes, open up a video call with one or more other members of the team. I will also spend about 30-60 minutes on planning meeting videochats per day.
