Do you feel this way about all kinds of online interactions? Or are Zoom calls or group chats better than, lets say, your Twitter feed or Reddit threads?

My top issue with Zoom, which I find absolutely aggravating, is that most of the time there is a scheduled meeting window, and once it's over, the meeting is closed, and there is no way to continue a conversation with someone you are interested in conversing with. It resembles a prison visit more than a community meeting.

Zoom calls and group chats are definitely less bad than Twitter or Facebook or Reddit, but they are nowhere close to as good as IRL.
Note that I have worked mostly remote jobs for a couple years now, so I'm not opposed to partially remote, but frequent visits to the client IRL are necessary, and if you're part of a team it's even more important to meet together.
