My old person trait is that I think ‘ghosting’ is completely unacceptable and you owe the other person a face-to-face conversation.

      This. You do not need to react to most things in the first place, much less some noise a social media company wants to show you.

        Notifications drive me crazy. I just keep my phone perpetually on silent. The only app that gets an exception is how my county pages first responders.

      I do appreciate that recent versions of Android (and iOS, I think?) allow granular control over permissions, so you can gleefully shout “fuck you” as you fail to grant notification permission to some game.

      I only have it enabled for social apps when someone actually is talking to me, but I just don’t understand why there are notifications for these recommendations or suggestions from some algorithm.

      I normally have my phone constantly in the “Alarms only” disturb mode. This has the disadvantage that it may take days, until I decide to check if anyone attempted to contact me.
