Why people say good morning (or something like that) on chat after a night? - Lemmy.World

I mean, I see chats is one continuous conversation and unless the conversation has been properly ended, it shouldn’t be necessary even if a night has passed.

If there’s been a pause of several hours, people consider it a new conversation. “Good morning” implies that the speaker assumes other participants have slept overnight.
That’s a bold assumption!

Oh I see, even if chats are organised by person, the conversation has ended (even if improperly) if X time has passed. So people organise mentally the conversations as individual interactions, it is the social component that overrides the digital organisation.

Thank you.

It’s also just a way to ping you and see if you’re there and ready to continue a conversation politely / small talk and a way to start talking again.
A heads up. Yeah, I can see why that could be necessary.
You sound like a robot pretending to be a human lol
Sadly, I get that a lot. Even as a child. Now I’m approaching 40 and we’ll, that never changed.
It's okay, that grammar error put you back in the "human" camp. For now.
Totally not intentional.
I was contemplating whether it is a robot or an alien.
