Do you do friendship with randoms online?

I always feel a little confused when someone asks this question. I’m here to interact with things that I enjoy. Some of that is serious discussion and most is silly. But the point is that there are people to connect with. A lot is shallow passing-by, but getting to know people is going to happen with interaction.
A natural progression can lead to friendship if you interact with enough people for a long enough time.
I guess maybe I’m confused as to why someone would want to come here and not get to know people and form some kind of connection. Unless they just want to vent. Even the arguers find friends.
