a 2 minute delay is asynchronous. You should be devoting 2% of your attention to keeping up the thread, and put the rest on other tasks, like everyone else does. What you're describing - turning a casual, asynchronous conversation into a demand for full attention and relying on the open 'channel' of the chat to somewhat force consent is an annoying move and would get you put solidly into the 'respond in a few hours when I'm done with everything else' pile.

As I understand, and IME, that's not how attention works. Switching has a large negative effect on focus for me, and when I'm interacting with others who try to do it, it sure seems like it doesn't work for them. I focus on one thing at a time.
- LocalH 4y agoNice ableist handling of attention, there. “Like everyone else does”. Focus doesn’t work the same for everyone, and assuming it does is ableist
