all i do my phone is make phone calls, and watch netflix, etc.

computer stuff for computer.

i quit a volunteer group i used to hang out with because they insisted we all use slack on our phones so we could communicate 24/7. I was like ‘no i want to communicate in person only, or maybe occasionally by email. call me in emergecies’

got a lecture about how this made a boomer who was oppressing folks because using the phone/email is triggering for them and why not just have instant communication and expect instance responses and be perpetually anxious/enraged about the slack channel 24/7… because that’s like a better way to communicate about a group that meets like 6 times a month? OK zoomers.

Why do you have to be perpetually engaged with a slack chat? Especially in a volunteer group?

You can just ignore notifications. You’re not required by law to look at them asap. Slack in particular is great for configuring that. On mobile I have it set so only @here/@channel/@mes notify me, or direct messages. Otherwise I just ignore it until I want to check on things. Slack also has a built in automatic dnd so outside of business hours you won’t get notified for anything.

    As usual, young people are idiots 😅 I do the same. We dont need to be addicted to our phones. These kids cannot survive 5 minutes without it and it broke their brains.
    
    Tech is fine. Addiction is not. This coming from someone with 20+ game systems and 200 steam games lol. And like 6 PCs. Tech and learning is great. Social media billionaire funded brainrot, needs to die.

    Even if you guys are right, and im inclined to agree with you, you both sound like smug assholes. Tone down the hate on young people, you were young once too and im sure you were morons just like the rest of us.

    I think one or two days at most can be expect at business days.

I mean, disable notifications, use like email?

Sure, Slack is not a standard and E-Mail is a mess.

The meme holds true for me, but I mostly just read on my phone. I know its probably not the best for my eyes, but it’s convenient.

computer stuff for computer. typey type on full keyboard with 10 fingers

i ended up getting a portable keyboard for my phone i was writing so much in it. I insist all my keyboards have 10-keys because otherwise i have to hunt and peck for numbers and i have too much ego to do that. but it made writing more fun.
