Ask HN: Has anyone been using VR to socialize lately?

I've been really interested in VR as a way to socialize with others. I often play games online with friends with voice chat and it's a good way to stay connected and maintain a social outlet but I wonder if VR would be an even better way to experience this and satisfy my social needs. From what I can tell Oculus products are the most popular and accessible but I refuse to buy into an ecosystem that is owned by Facebook. Valve index also looks very good but the price is very high. I wonder if the new Playstation will continue to push VR as a feature. Does anyone use VR for socializing? Playing games together in VR sounds fun but even just chatting with avatars seems like a great way to stay connected.
