Worried about how freely brothers and sisters chat online these days

Assalaamu ‘Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh I’ve been noticing a trend in certain online Dawah circles where you’ll often see brothers and sisters casually hanging out together on live video chats, just talking and joking around like it’s no big deal. What really catches my eye is how easy it’s become for people to just jump into these group streams, almost like they’re just chilling together in person. Just to be clear, I’m not talking about when someone genuinely joins to ask an important question about our Deen. I mean the laid-back socializing, the small talk, and the banter that seems to happen regularly on these platforms. When folks point it out, some get defensive and even bring up how Sayyidah Aisha رضي الله عنها would speak to men from behind a barrier. They argue the internet is basically the same as that barrier. But really, she was doing that to share essential Islamic knowledge, not for casual socializing with non-mahrams. Yet people take that example, ignore the context, and use it to justify what looks a whole lot like free-mixing online. Sometimes, you’ll even see the same sisters always appearing on certain brothers’ streams again and again. So, brothers and sisters, am I off-base here? Please don’t hold back. Jazakum Allahu khairan.
