Anyone saying texting/email & Facebook/other social media are the same in terms of communication, it’s trivial to move between them & if you don’t think so, you’re just lazy is stupid.
Texting, even with group texts, is directed. It’s not the place where you idly talk about the bird you saw. In texts, you say thing you know/assume are of interest to the other person/people.
Facebook et al are not that, and acting as if they are is at best, ignorant. Massively, almost deliberately ignorant.

Also, shaming people because FB is their primary way for staying in contact with people is shitty.
You spend all day on mastodon and texting people Chad, and you get annoyed when people text you too much, expect you to respond “too fast” while being a pissbaby if they don’t respond to your texts fast enough.
Maybe stop being such a self-centered cunt about it.
it all went to hell when AIM died. The status messages were the best

@bynkii Maaaan I miss status messages. Probably one of my favorite things in Slack except that I can’t set them globally (ie across all slacks)
I mean, Apple is kinda on the right track with “Focus” but I want something that just lets other people I’m not available so they can go “oh hey, I’ll hold off on sending a message” or at least send it as a “hey, no urgency but when you’re available…”

@Wraithe it’s not the same as having the current iTunes track as your status message though

@Wraithe and ichat was scriptable on a terrifying level. It may have been the pinnacle of an Apple app in terms of scriptability.

@bynkii Yeah iChat (for its various flaws) was peak in a lotta ways, it was Apple supporting all these services without making you take The One True (Apple) Path.

@Wraithe I mean, you could write scripts that responded to incoming messages from a specific person. Like the capability was wild

@Wraithe and AOL and the others. The service existed outside of Apple, but again, paying for it 🤷
