So, if you're remote, why not just talk to your real friends on discord or whatever?

I think this whole "we are all a family" trope that companies push has pretty much been seen through by remote workers.

Right. Not everybody wants, needs or has these interactions even in-person.

This stuff needs to happen organically to be meaningful. Templates don't work.

It's like starting a chess club that everyone has to join.
