Also, please send messages once you're done thinking and
writing. When someone is so inconsiderate and just does a
real-time braindump in the messenger, hitting return every half
sentence, I'll mute them.
- Tenoke 6y agoI find this style much better for casual conversations given that it mimics real talk better and I can start thinking/responding from earlier.
- alpaca128 6y agoIt doesn't mimic real talk, it's 10x too slow for that. To me being on the receiving end of this is like watching a YouTube video that switches between playback and buffering every few seconds.
- DangitBobby 6y agoWhy does this bother you?
- deeblering4 6y agoPossibly because it triggers numerous notifications for a request or question thats not complete yet. That can be quite distracting, especially if the conversation isn’t urgent.
- corty 6y agobecause every time someone hits return, the messenger goes bling. Then I'll read what was sent because I was interrupted anyways. Then I'll discover it was incomplete and I can't make sense of it. I'll go back to productive work until the next snippet of this flow of consciousness madness interrupts me. Then I'll read that message, plus the preceding ones for context. Now you interrupted me multiple times, forcing me to read partial stuff over and over again, just to have to wait for your next snippet for it all to maybe make sense. People messaging like the above cause me to mute them and just look at their messages once in a blue moon.
- jaredsohn 6y ago>because every time someone hits return, the messenger goes bling. I realize there are still distractions re: notifications, etc. but I recommend people turn off chat sound effects to make the notifications less distracting. It bugs me when on a Zoom call, I slack something, and I hear the Slack notification sound.
- planb 6y agoI can live with that in chat. It's not an email and I can switch the window and later read it all at once. But please please don't send me voice messages like this!
- rascul 6y agoI prefer to receive multiple messages instead of one long and hard to read wall of text.
- kamalhm 6y agoAbsolutely, people who do this instantly goes down on my priority
