how do you deal with online communication platforms that are over 99% noise yet still in your face about indicators and notifications?
@DarkWitchClaire Turn most of the indicators and notifications off, but mostly, limit the amount of places I’m in so there’s less to keep track of.
(This is why I haven’t been poking around the forums and IRC channels you’ve mentioned — I don’t think I could stay on top of them tbh.)
@Lenalia i find that with irc and forums it's a lot easier to engage when you want to and you never feel like you're missing out
@DarkWitchClaire Honestly I think I’d feel like I was missing out even more if I went back to IRC, since I can’t scroll back and see what I missed, while with Discord I can still scroll back and reply to things hours later.
@Lenalia i feel like you don't need to worry about missing out and are just kinda expected to tune out conversations that aren't relevant to you and check back later
not like other platforms that give you an indicator for every conversation
