I mean, I see chats as 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.

      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.

      I think I get your point.

      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.
