Tbh, I think a lot of people are doing extended phone calls and discord convos these days. I can't go to the grocery without hearing a few loud speaker phone convos, and back when I was more social online I'd leave Skype running in group calls for hours a day after work. (I especially hear Spanish convos over the phone in public from workers phones. I suspect many of these people don't speak English well and are calling family and friends for social stimulation. I live in FL, USA)

The only thing stopping me now, I think, is I live with my partner and spend tons of time with them, so my social battery is constantly low.
