I guess this is only if you have an iPhone because I don’t know if android has it. But do not disturb will allow you to still receive the text, but not the notification.
I could be wrong, but I think you can set so that it alerts your friends that you are on do not disturb.
I think this could give the flexibility of responding if you are in the space to, but having the freedom to not feel you need to respond right away.

I agree. DND mode on iPhone does let your contacts know that your currently in DND. You can even set it up so it activates a particular times of day so you could it turn off for like "office hours" or something

idk about other phones but if u have an iphone they have all kinds you can turn on and just make sure it’s set to show people you’re on dnd. then if they go to text you they’ll see you’re working/taking personal time/etc. i have the one set up for work hours, one for therapy and yoga, sleep, i also put them on when i am doing my something else (painting, cooking, movie) and don’t want to be bothered. IMO you don’t really have to announce it and it also may not go over well if you tell people their texts drive you crazy — it might just be better left unsaid. (unless you’re getting spammed with like ten calls in a row then you probably should) i think eventually they’ll just adjust to you not being reachable 24/7. (just don’t ghost people for a bunch of days if they ask you an important question lol) i used to feel obliged to respond to everything ASAP and i’m still mostly a “good texter” but i don’t feel the need to interrupt things to respond to texts or text abt something non-time sensitive if i’m not in a mood to (outside my mom lol, i always answer her the same day) and i think most people in my life understand that bc i just am not reachable 24/7 and have that boundary. i don’t know if you can just stop people texting you a lot but i think if you reshape your response time they will have to adjust/come to terms with that

This has become the norm and every day I grow more disturbed. I understand if somebody is behaving in a harmful way, that is good to document and put out there. But as a whole, it seems, we have become so comfortable with recording people just living their lives. I saw a video of a guy working and the caption of the video was that he was so hot, we needed to find him!!! Why are you providing the Internet with his face and location instead of just going up to talk to him? I saw another of two people on the subway, seemingly a couple, having a very emotional moment. How would you feel if you open up an app and saw a video like that of yourself? I don’t like this level of sibling society surveillance. Why are you videoing an elderly person with sad music dubbed over it to gain likes? It is WEIRD. Don’t even get me started on videos of children. It is WEIRD to use a stranger without their consent to get some kind of fake validation. Get a life.
I don’t mean to come on here and share something so negative, I just don’t have anywhere else to put it and it’s gnawing at me.
