People who send each sentence of their message

In seperate text messages

Instead of compiling all thoughts into one text

So you receive a bunch of texts and notifications at once

Annoying or acceptable?

Annoying but understandable sometimes. What I don't like is when 3 messages are sent in less than 30 seconds with one being HELLO?

Unhinged is the word you’re looking for.

You know?

Look, like, I can't just

Change my way of communicating

[–] Baku@aussie.zone 5 points 4 months ago

Annoying, but in my defence, I had a friend who would refuse to read anything longer than about 3 sentences.

Putting them into different messages fixed that.

Unfortunately, that's a habit that has stuck with me even though I don't even talk to them anymore

I don't mind tbh. Interestingly Android 15 is adding "notification cooldown" feature, will see where they take it

[–] Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I tend to do this. It's just natural to me. Much of my communications early were via text on like games or messaging apps. It's just how my thoughts come out idk

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 points 4 months ago

Since i barely use my phone i never even thought about it

plus i have my settings for no notifications

Annoying, but Mr P is dyslexic and he finds it easier to process this way. I occasionally miss one of the msgs.
