Educate me please, is this a real thing? Do people delay responses to act cool? In my day, extended chat conversations were a thing and kinda required immediate responses. Does nobody do that anymore?

[-] spicehoarder@lemmy.zip 5 points 13 hours ago

Probably as long as Snapchat has existed. Especially since they were the first to show your little avatar peaking over the keyboard if you were in the chat at the same time.

Snapchat was absolutely not the first to add a "typing now" indicator

[-] spicehoarder@lemmy.zip 3 points 9 hours ago

No no no. The first to add the avatar that makes you look like a weirdo for just being in the same chat but not saying anything.

[-] anugeshtu@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

Exactly what I was thinking. It's not that you don't get "immediate" feedback when somebody texts you... either by a sound or otherwise. Why wouldn't you respond to that if you have the time? Although I get it when somebody sends you a thousand messages (or voice ones) in a row. Then I also need a time out.

I delay texts both reading and responding to not be a slave to my phone or to your whims. I don't owe you immediate gratification. Texts are really disruptive. About 40% of the time that thing you asked me that I didn't respond to you about took care of itself or you figured it out yourself and are maybe better for it.

If texts are disruptive then an unsolicited phone call is an affront to all creation

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 hours ago

Sure. Treat them the same way. If you don't VM it's probably not important enough for me to call back. I'll Call you back when I'm driving, its a great time to talk. Also, you're not going to call me about as dumb as a thing as you are going to txt me. The threshold to interact this way is much higher, it's a natural BS screen.

Youre old enough that chats didnt have a history, and if they waited long enough, you had to open a different message entirely to remember what you sent them!

Ah the times
