This author is clearly in a different world than I am. Group chats are strictly for coordinating. If something worthy of conversation happens in a group chat, the subsequent chat happens in a separate channel.
Otherwise people start tuning out the group chats and doing the wrong thing like trying to meet everybody at the wrong crag.
If there were more than 20 notifications in a group chat in an hour, you can bet that half of us have muted it.
Maybe it's just that us ADHD folk hang out with other ADHD folk.
- lxgr 3y agoIt's the opposite for me: Group chats are mostly for banter (i.e. I use them exactly as portrayed in the article); if I need something urgently from somebody there I'll DM them. At least WhatsApp also allows turning off all notifications for a group chat other than the ones you're directly tagged in; not sure if iMessage supports the same.
- Euphorbium 3y agoI love group chats and have muted most of them. They still work even if someone responds an hour or a day later.
- xboxnolifes 3y agoNone of my group chats send me notifications on message, I just check them when I check them. Still use them all the time. And if something actually needs coordinating, someone drops an @everyone or sends out DMs.
