Ask HN: You are not angry at Facebook, You are angry at your friends

With so many people stuck in their homes in quarantine, people have turned back to social media to seek social interaction.

Did you also notice people post these "games" & "experiments" that seek human connection with "friends"?

I saw a few about "reply with your initials of your name", "reply how you remember us instead of likes"

Why do people think they have to make it into a game, or call it an experiment to ask for messages from their friends?

I think this shows something about how our interaction with our friends have changed. We became reserved, resigned when it comes to online socializing. Nobody seems to be writing anyone these days. Before the quarantine, I thought it was just me, missing the sociable friendly days of online presence with our friends. Now I see everyone is seeking that thing when the physical world is fully under quarantine.

If everyone has been in this situation, what does that say about the society?

Are we all just pretending to be angry at Facebook? While in fact we have been angry at each other, resigned from social interaction online?
