Reading the posts today there seem to be many lonely people.

Social media was supposed to make people more connected to others. But it isn’t the problem, it’s how people use it.

People use social media to replace face to face conversations, over a meal or a drink or just catching up. They try to edit what people see, this false representation only deepens the gap between people.

I keep my presence online to a few quiet moments on a weekend. I try to keep my time open for moments that really matter.

Nothing important or lasting has ever happened on Similar Worlds. All the real moments happen when you’re logged off and sat beside someone.

Exactly what Justmeraeagain said.

It isn't entirely false representation. People also see what they want to see in their interpretations, perceptions and projections.
And people do and can use this how they choose to use it. Sometimes it's merely a place to express, and for catharsis.
