As someone that has always used whatever chat system the company is using to write the person right in front and next to me so to not interrupt their flow, I do not enjoy socializing via chat or even calls. Whether in profesional or personal life. Beyond the occasional meme or interesting content sharing. If I'm not working on something or I'm not in a meeting, I prefer spending time off screen. Having a stroll around the block, grabbing a coffee or lunch with someone, play some cards, etc.

This doesn't mean automatically that I wouldn't run a company completely remote. Just wanted to chime in why socializing might be difficult for some in a remote environment.
