Does everyone have this one friend, who instead of typing out one message, splits their thoughts into 6-32 smaller messages sent in quick succession?

Also, I wish there was a way to throttle or debounce notifications on my phone.

I used to be that friend, then I stopped. Learned to put order in my thoughts before sharing them. If not out of self respect, at least out of respect for my friends.

I genuinely like this about you now

[–] Schnitzel_bub@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Thanks, that'll give me a bit of a pep in my step!

I don't know why in 2023 we still can't debounce notifications. It should be simple to say if I get 3 messages in the same conversation in 120 seconds, silence the conversation for an hour.

And people like you wonder why you have no friends lmao.

"If my friends message me too much, silence them for an hour".

I'm in group chats that often devolve into 2-3 talking about something between themselves. While I'm busy with other things I'm not interested in being distracted every single time something is said because I think the notification might be something that requires attention. Once I have some free time I may be interested in going back to see what was said, but if I know they're going off and I don't want to hear about it at the moment I'd like the conversation to automatically mute for a short period of time.

The assumption is that by that point I am aware of the messages and have chosen to ignore them for the time being. There is no need to notify me because I've already been notified

What do you mean, "people like you"?

“Hey, guess what, I got free text messages now.”

3 days later I contemplate blocking them.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago
