As millennials, we grew up alongside Facebook and Instagram, and also grew up using Facebook and Instagram. And throughout the past 10 years, as social media apps have changed and as we’ve developed our own social media ethic, we’ve also changed how we engage with social media. 

Tune in to hear about how we use social media to keep up with friends, communicate our thoughts, create spaces for conversation, and counter misconceptions of ourselves. Despite all that social media enables us to do, we end the episode by discussing what we would change about social media.

Today, so many platforms facilitate what we call "online friendships," which include friendships made online and also friendships made in person and maintained online.

In discussing our experiences with online communities and friendships, we distinguish the content of a conversation from the chemistry of a conversation, and answer questions such as: 

• What Facebook groups have enabled us to make friends and maintain friendships?
• What is appealing about making friends online? about maintaining friendships online?
• What’s it like to meet “online friends" in person?
• What have we learned about friendship by maintaining online friendships? 

Online communities we mention include Asian Creative Network and Progressive Asian American Christians.
