Who cares? Texting is meant to be a convenience, not something that demands my attention. That’s the beauty of texting vs a phone call - I have time to think and do other things before replying

I agree to a limit. If I'm just posting stupid yt videos to someone then who cares.

But if I'm talking to someone and they don't answer for 4 days(I give 1 day or so, personally), I'm not bothering with that person again.

Texting is a form of communication, just like email is.

You can say it's a "convenience" all you want, but so is the telephone then.

Why don't you just walk to the person's house and speak to them?

Only 4 days, amateur. I'm so bad at talking I endup ghosting anyone. :3

I'll do this but it will be years later

No one deserves your immediate attention at the drop off a message

We need to re-normalise asynchronous communication

[captspify@lemmy.today]

Agreed. I dont get why people get upset by these things (assuming its not a time-sensitive discussion, of course)

I'll be hiding from solicitors. If you need to speak to me, break into my house and start the conversation at gunpoint.

[absolutechicagodog@lemm.ee]

Counter point, if someone needs to speak to me urgently why aren't they calling/visiting?

[affiliate@lemmy.world]

exactly. 96 hours is rookie numbers.

Same legitimately the once every two years I log into my dusty old insta account and see I have a message.
