To be able to live a little more relaxed, I only read new messages once or twice a day, only more often in exceptional cases (for example when a birthday or a deadline is approaching). The rest of the time, the phone is in flight mode.

Fortunately, I haven't had any problems with it yet, but what about you? And how have you responded to stupid demands?

I get them. I don't always answer.

I tend not to get along well with the kind of people who think I have to drop everything to respond to them, so it's fine.

We are all in our 50s so who gives a fuck, but also is he dead?

I get notifications, but generally don't read them until I'm taking a break, maybe 4 times a day. No one has complained. If they did, I'd tell them to call me if it's an emergency. I'm guessing about half would never make a phone call if they could help it, so it's a good bluff. Also I don't mind receiving phone calls.

It's my self selection filter for friends

I’m addicted. Constantly checking it, looking at it to pass time when doing something else is considered rude.

I couldn't give a shit about my phone 90%o of the time. No social media. No time wasting apps. No bullshit.

You reminded me i had forgotten to respond to a question, thank you.

[–] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago

My phone is on mute all the time, people message me, or call, and I get back to them when I see it. Don't like it? Move on.

I don’t know because I haven’t checked my phone.
