happens on irc constantly too

chat rooms are cliques, almost always

choose any sufficiently populated room on libera chat, join, and start talking a lot without lurking first for awhile and see how the inhabitants react

try going to a pub on a Saturday night, walking up to a group of people you’ve never met, having a conversation, and start talking about something completely unrelated, and see how they react.

what you’re seeing in online chat communities is just basic social interaction reflected online
