Questions tagged [online-interaction]

Questions related to interacting with others online, including via chatroom, social media, audio/video chat, or any other method of communicating online. Can also be used for long-distance-relationships, or just friends you have met online.

Online interactions usually happen between people that live far apart, even between different continents. Communication can be in real-time (voice/video chat, instant messaging) or it could be delayed (email, forum posts).

Whether it be interacting with one person specifically over the internet, or interacting with a large group of people online, online interactions can involve communicating via text, voice, or even video chat.

Other tags to consider using include location tags such as to indicate where the participants are from, and tags such as to denote the nature of your relationship.
