interacting with people via a phone screen is not socialising though.
if its not face to face ita not really real and you certainly can't form a connection, pick up on cues, etc
People who socialize in the Internet are _more likely_ to socialize off of the Internet, not less.
There's a reason why so many of the Nostr regulars attend meetups. We want to hang out IRL with the people we have met online.
