It's funny but... Sometimes I play a lot of Beat Saber which has a thin multiplayer mode where you get in a a room of randos and get put into a really structured kind of environment where you can't hassle people but you can friend people and then invite them into a room where you are in a voice conference.

A lot of the people I've met are retirees who enjoy social VR and like to post pano videos they take on cruise ships -- it is good clean fun but it must drive Mark Zuckerburg up the wall since he's looking for a younger and more impressionable audience.
