5,000 daily is 3.47 per minute for 24/7. Insane?

probably from all those people
who can't form a single sentence
without hitting "send"
every two words

I recently started dating again and noticed a lot of people do this now it’s very annoying.

[–] noodlejetski@lemm.ee 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've got one person doing that in my work group chat. I've got Buzzkill installed for the sole purpose of muting the chat for five minutes whenever they send a message in order to avoid my watch constantly vibrating for two minutes.

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

TIL about Buzzlill. Holy shit. I could probably do the same thing with Tasker but I'll happily pay $4 so I don't have to.

[–] noodlejetski@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

it can also be plugged into Tasker :) you can set conditions to run Tasker profiles, for example. just saying.

I kinda need to do this with my dad, otherwise he doesn’t notice texts. For example he texts me “Buy that spread for €0.79”. “Hazelnut or cocoa?” which if I don’t follow with ~5 question marks, he won’t even notice.

[–] noodlejetski@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago

I mean, it's understandable in cases like those, but when you tell a story that doesn't require an immediate answer and you end up sending 20 notifications instead of putting it in one longer message, it's more than annoying.

Call? What's wrong with you?

I know a lot of people who never change their Discord notifications. They get notifications for every message in every channel in every server. It's insane.

Obviously they do not actually interact with these notifications. They tune them out, and I guess eventually they will swipe them away. Personally it always stresses me out a little when I see their phones with a hundred notifications. I've never been a proponent of "inbox zero" for email, but "notification bar zero" has been my standard way of using smartphones for as long as smartphones have existed. If I got 3 notifications per minute on my phone, I would probably smash it with a hammer and go find a nice cave to retire to.

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

notification bar zero

What about permanent notifications? I've got "a few".

[–] GenderNeutralBro@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, I have a few as well. A lot of those can be hidden without being killed if you long-press them and click the gear. Others I actually like to have so I can see the status, e.g. I want to know if my VPN disconnects.

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The key will disappear from the status bar if it disconnects, you don't need the app icon too.

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 years ago

It doesn't have to. For example ProtonVPN stays active even if it disconnects. There's still the VPN symbol, but the notification will tell you it's trying to reconnect.

[–] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 years ago

This number is skewed by Notifications John, who receives millions of notifications a day and should not be counted

I feel like I'd install a bunch of shit before getting anywhere close to a tenth of that. I'd hate my phone. However, I'm far from being a teenager and their ways and methods have become somewhat mysterious.

[–] PixxlMan@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Probably also random games and apps spamming you to play them

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

60% of the group get less than 300 80% get less than 500

5000 is probably a very very small percent, and probably kids that have a shit load of followers.

[–] Ado@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Holy shit man. That sounds so stressful

[–] RobotToaster@mander.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

I get a lot, although not that many, but I have sound turned off for most and clear them like once a week or so.
