Group Chat City

At this point, group chats are probably overtheorized. They are a seemingly irresistible object of cultural analysis and trend reporting, perhaps because they are so subliminal—the information layer just below the surface of daily experience, literal subtext, hidden in plain sight, begging to be brought into the foreground and discussed.

This article made me wonder if I’m in far fewer group chats than my peers. But I’m afraid to ask because I don’t want to be invited to even more than the few I already manage.
