How many people are needed to be a great place of being social?

[RGTGO]

Yes we are in agreement, a place to socialize of course must accommodate multiple people and Niantic’s minimum is ~5.

Just because a place can accommodate multiple people does not automatically make it a great place to socialize.

I am also in agreement hence my:

@RGTGO

The ~5 people minimum has to work with Niantic’s main criteria.

Also keep in mind that a post office, internet cafe of similar are great places to socialize but that doesn’t necessarily mean the socializing is done with people present there. The question asks how many people can gather there, not how many people can you socialize with.

Yes I agree as well since Niantic doesn’t state that a great place to socialize necessarily entails they are socializing with each other.

People gathering to share an experience (internet cafe, post office) doesn’t mean they are directly interacting with the other people there.

We are in complete agreement, a great place to socialize must accommodate multiple people and they don’t necessarily have to be “socializing” with each other.
