Do you think online friends are as good as ones in real life? Why and why not?

Online friendships can be lots of fun. You can make strong connections with people that can feel as strong....even stronger than rl friendships. You can often confide safely in an online friend stiff you dont share in real life.. but....they are often short lived and it can be pretty tough if one party decides to ignore or ghost the other. If you only have a website or email for contact theres jackshit you can do if they dont answer you.
