It feels very artificial and takes a lot more planning. I still do this sometimes but it's not the same.

Why does it require a lot of planning? I do this, usually it's "bored, coffee break?" "Yep" or I ask a question on slack and the other party says "call?"

Because IRL you're effectively always in call. Not sure whats hard to understand about the difference.

I just don't see the difference. When I worked in an office I'd wander over to a colleague and say "coffee?" Now I open a dm and say "coffee call?"
