    The only thing I think when I hear someone else’s notification is, why the fuck is it so loud and why the fuck aren’t they silencing it?

    Who keeps notifications on? Anything? I put my phone on silent back in 2012 and I’ve never looked back.

    Edit. Sorry, to clarify. I turn notification sounds off. Still get the actual pop up… Some not important ones get total silents but still pop a bubble so at some point I’ll look at it. For those things that need to be noticed i make sure they vibrate and pop up on my watch. Still not a sound to be heard.

      This comes up every once in a while. Apparently there are a surprising number of people on Lemmy who are still commited to using audible notifications.

      Me. I work freelance. I can’t afford to miss an email.

      The trick is only to have important inbox notifications on and no notifications for any other apps. Then you don’t need to put your phone on silent.

    Unless grinder got a custom notification sound, saying something like “Im gonna prone bone til you gone” i would probably write it off as some message notification

    No volume, vibrate, led, or push notifications. If you want my attention badly enough, call. And I will screen the call and text you back at my convenience. I will not be on a leash. Now excuse me while I doomscroll for 2 to 17 hours.

    No, I would have no idea. It’s a standard notification? You can’t choose the sound? If it was a ladies site I’d say “vibrate” would be the obvious choice, but for a gay men’s site, no idea.
