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.

    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.
