What is lost is social networking. Texting or calling people you already know isn't networking.
Every social network experiences convergent evolutionary pressure driving it to become social media instead.

- Gigachad 10mo agoGroup chats are social networking. You’ll meet people you didn’t already know.
- blell 10mo agoMaybe we have different concepts of what a group chat is. To me, group chats have my friends, and we will never invite anybody who is not already a friend of everybody. They are supposed to be high-trust environments.
- Gigachad 10mo agoSomewhat different. Most of the group chats I’m in are related to house parties where the host knows everyone but I don’t. Or they are interest / hobby related.
