My family lives scattered across America, I in Australia. We spend hours in voice call each day. We use discord for roleplaying games, to watch TV together, to play video games, to chat, to discuss philosophy and politics.

Terminally online trans furries are a culture. This is how we participate in the community. Other cultural groups concentrate in one place because of heritability, but we're randomly born to normal parents, so we're scattered across the world. You might call us a diaspora. Living together in meatspace is a privilege many of us spend years working to attain.

That's what Element can't do. And if you don't understand having a family online, that's fine. I'm just explaining for the person who asked.
