Oh, I completely agree; friends being able to roast each other is a beautiful part of having a deeper connection of trust and a sign of a healthy and fulfilling friendship.
For me though I have a hard time thinking of posting on a public forum in the same way as hanging out with my friends IRL. It’s harder for me to get to know someone through open discussions conducted via text than it is to do so in an actual face to face conversation. But that’s a me thing, on principle I completely agree with you.
