It has always been this way. You aren't a newbie.

Maybe you can tell us why you haven't never bothered with jabber before?
I have observed many people who just don't bother.

Having a back channel for clarifying questions, and just to well... get the
snark out... is really important. It's even fun, and I tend to find that it
keeps me engaged, particularly for material that I already know, (or already
know I don't care about).
I have regularly been in the "hallway" room in my desktop client for like.... a
decade. Even between meetings, and I am often in the rooms for which I am (or
have been) a chair, basically all the time.
Okay, some of this is just too lazy to close the tab, but some of this is intentional.
Some goes back to the period when I didn't travel much due to funding and family.
