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.
Comment on Why people say good morning (or something like that) on chat after a night?
SVcross@lemmy.world 11 months agoOh 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.
Thank you.

A heads up. Yeah, I can see why that could be necessary.

Reading a bit into “ended improperly”, one possibility of them saying good morning could be if after they stopped talking late at night you still added 10 or so more messages in a row. Hehe. I used to get that alot. Basically both sincere and sarcastic at the same time. To let you know they are awake now and caught up on your continued posts after they fell asleep, as well as poke a bit of fun that you maybe missed a “too subtle for us” hint that the other person was going to sleep before you kept posting.

I was contemplating whether it is a robot or an alien.

Sadly, I get that a lot. Even as a child. Now I’m approaching 40 and we’ll, that never changed.

It's okay, that grammar error put you back in the "human" camp. For now.

Totally not intentional.
