So maybe I am lazy, but I define all my online friends as friends. Especially on Clubhouse, I went deep in and have now met many people IRL, including in London. And that's during Covid. Imagine if I could go freely to NYC like I used to. Or take people up on their invitations to visit them in Nigeria. I use voice as a good indicator. So far the people I've met are who they sounded as if they were. And think of the G3 women. Have we met IRL, sure, but most of our exchanges are online. But because social media is so old, most of my online friends are fifteen years in duration or longer. I do think people need social cues, but other people ignore them. Bad Art Friend is a singular occurrence. Also, how have you been?
