They send notifications to your phone whenever someone messages you. Those unread icons are addictive, at least for me I always have to actively think to not open them immediately.
That’s just the natural outcome of blurring chat rooms with social media.
- judge2020 4y agoThat still applies for non-social media. My iOS IRC client connected to my znc bouncer also shows notifications. Same for iMessage which is more profile-like, since you can send memoji and stickers and play games with your friends (eg. GamePigeon), which is why the bill tries to exclude 'chat' apps and email apps.
- yardstick 4y agoHow much different is IRC/Discourse vs Twitter? Hashtags are effectively channels. Twitter just has more subscribers and more individuals in each channel.
