It can soften the interaction, man.
Sometimes saying something to a stranger without this pseudo familiarly can come across as cold or even sarcastic. Ironically it is one way to distance yourself and create the environment for a clean break from interaction.
You see, if it is generally genial, it lets the other person know what sort of interaction is taking place: laid back, casual, not really involved or asking more of the person. it isn't an invitation for a more intimate relationship with the speaking, it's framing the mood.
Where you may think of it as 内, it is often really closer to our 外.

But Kim, Japanese do the same and call tomodachi people they just met a few hours ago at the bar.
Why do you want to spread a false image of Japanese people, Kim?
Why don't you stop using your proxy, Kim?
How much do they pay you to do this, Kim?
>>74200932
Because you're autistic and have no social antenna, and that should put thing in perspective since we in the Nordics are known for being anti social by international standard

>Japanese do the same and call tomodachi people they just met a few hours ago at the bar.
>few hours ago
yeah people can be friends through several hours of interaction, but japanese never say 'friend' to someone who met for the first time without any interaction, let alone on the internet, you stupid gaijin

This is just Korean propaganda.
Sometimes we wander off the confinement zones Japanese threads and banter in English a little bit with Koreans. Then, posts are deleted.
Those people are paid to shitpost under Japanese proxy

I guess it's a way of announcing friendly intentions so you won't be scared like you are
