When group chats die and friend groups lose their collective energy

My college friend group used to have this group chat that was constantly active with random thoughts and plans and inside jokes, but it's been months since anyone posted anything substantial and now it's just birthday wishes and the occasional meme. We're all still friends individually but the group energy has just disappeared and no one talks about it.
