      probably from all those people
      who can’t form a single sentence
      without hitting “send”
      every two words

          Mhm, I’ll absolutely do this sometimes, as a stylistic choice. I usually type and text with perfect spelling and punctuation (at least as close to perfect as my brain can get!)

          Sometimes, typing in a punctuation-free or texting in a rapid manner like that can make a message come across the way it sounds in my mind.

        I kinda need to do this with my dad, otherwise he doesn’t notice texts. For example he texts me “Buy that spread for €0.79”. “Hazelnut or cocoa?” which if I don’t follow with ~5 question marks, he won’t even notice.

        I recently started dating again and noticed a lot of people do this now it’s very annoying.

          I’ve got one person doing that in my work group chat. I’ve got Buzzkill installed for the sole purpose of muting the chat for five minutes whenever they send a message in order to avoid my watch constantly vibrating for two minutes.

            TIL about Buzzlill. Holy shit. I could probably do the same thing with Tasker but I’ll happily pay $4 so I don’t have to.

              Buzzkill is the first thing I installed on my OnePlus 11. I don’t remember exactly, but I couldn’t get some notifications to come through as vibrate only, and the ones that did vibrated for too long. Buzzkill let’s me not only create custom vibrate notifications but also set the strength and duration. Game changer for sure

              it can also be plugged into Tasker :) you can set conditions to run Tasker profiles, for example. just saying.

        What’s the disadvantage? I really only see advantages.

        So here’s an example:

        you: hey

        you: are you free right now?

        other: nah. Sorry

        other: but I shold have time around 17:00.

        you: Ok. Call me when you’re done. It’s kinda important

        other: Ok


        The first message introduces a conversation followed by a follow up. As soon as you send the first message it’s easier to send the second one too since you already introduced the conversation.

        The other person then answers with a short answer where they don’t really have to think about what they write and how they write it. You instantly get an answer.

          What’s the disadvantage?

          https://nohello.net/en/

          A: hey (my watch vibrates once)
          A: are you free right now? (my watch vibrates again)
          B: nah. Sorry (their phone plays the sound once)
          B: but I shold have time around 17:00. (their phone plays the sound again)

          as opposed to:

          A: hey, are you free right now? (one vibration)
          B: nah, sorry, but I should have time around 17:00 (one sound played)

            The amount of times I’ve had to send this to other developers is infuriating. I’ll wait 5 mins for them to send the part after “hey.” I’m not replying back without an inquiry. I’ve got work to do.

            I don’t really see a problem with that. Also it shouldn’t vibrate if you’re already in the chat. So that really isn’t a problem since you usually see that the other person is typing and usually wait for them to send the message as long as they aren’t taking too long.

              I don’t really see a problem with that.

              and I do, because it doubles the amount of notifications I receive. if 5 people ask me something that way, I end up with 10 notifications, half of them being a pointless “hey”. it’s just plain inconsiderate.

              Also it shouldn’t vibrate if you’re already in the chat

              I don’t always immediately rush to check my phone when I get notified, not to mention that when the alerts are fired in a rapid sequence like that you often just don’t have time to open the conversation before the next alert arrives.

          My friends in a group chat sometimes have something to ask me so they be like: ‘Hey, Critical_Insight?’ - to which I two hours later reply: ‘Yeah?’ and then maybe an hour later I get the actual question and an hour from that I reply to it. If they instead would’ve just asked the question in the first message, I then would have answered to in in my first reply, and then be done with it. Maybe it’s just me, but I see that as waste of everyones time.

      I know a lot of people who never change their Discord notifications. They get notifications for every message in every channel in every server. It’s insane.

      Obviously they do not actually interact with these notifications. They tune them out, and I guess eventually they will swipe them away. Personally it always stresses me out a little when I see their phones with a hundred notifications. I’ve never been a proponent of “inbox zero” for email, but “notification bar zero” has been my standard way of using smartphones for as long as smartphones have existed. If I got 3 notifications per minute on my phone, I would probably smash it with a hammer and go find a nice cave to retire to.

        I have been doing inbox zero for a few months now and it has been great. Swipe right to delete, left to archive. Anything in my inbox actually needs my attention.

        Also don’t give out my real email and unsubscribe from anything I don’t need. It’s just a few emails per day now.

          Yeah, I have a few as well. A lot of those can be hidden without being killed if you long-press them and click the gear. Others I actually like to have so I can see the status, e.g. I want to know if my VPN disconnects.

            The key will disappear from the status bar if it disconnects, you don’t need the app icon too.

      This number is skewed by Notifications John, who receives millions of notifications a day and should not be counted

      I feel like I’d install a bunch of shit before getting anywhere close to a tenth of that. I’d hate my phone. However, I’m far from being a teenager and their ways and methods have become somewhat mysterious.

      I can see my phone getting that if I let every app just push whatever they want. I purposefully and carefully go through and ensure I’m only getting notifications for what I need them for.

      I average 250 a day. With 3/4 of those being messaging apps.

      60% of the group get less than 300 80% get less than 500

      5000 is probably a very very small percent, and probably kids that have a shit load of followers.

      I get a lot, although not that many, but I have sound turned off for most and clear them like once a week or so.
