    No one deserves your immediate attention at the drop off a message

    We need to re-normalise asynchronous communication

    Who cares? Texting is meant to be a convenience, not something that demands my attention. That’s the beauty of texting vs a phone call - I have time to think and do other things before replying

      I agree to a limit. If I’m just posting stupid yt videos to someone then who cares.

      But if I’m talking to someone and they don’t answer for 4 days(I give 1 day or so, personally), I’m not bothering with that person again.

      Texting is a form of communication, just like email is.

      You can say it’s a “convenience” all you want, but so is the telephone then.

      Why don’t you just walk to the person’s house and speak to them?
