I get the notification thing. I can’t stand abrasive notifications, but do not disturb schedules are a thing and can be set to allow certain people through (at least on Android).

Mild sidebar: I switched from a decade’s long iPhone use to Android. They’re so much more customizable. Tell me again how my phone is better? People are there ridiculous blue bubble cult, smh.

Android has a similar feature where favourite contacts will go through

I keep mine on silent too. It’s fucking annoying how often people are trying to contact me or send me shit. I ended up on the phone for two hours this morning playing therapist for a coworker, time I’ll never get back.

Anyway, this shit is after two weeks:

I have my settings to discard everything after 30 days but it still gets ridiculous so every couple weeks I delete all texts and recent calls. That’s only the stuff I’ve ignored too. It blows my mind how much people are obsessed with their phones.

Mines on silent unless I’m asleep so work can call me if necessary. If I’m awake there’s no reason not to be texting me instead. If I deem it necessary I’ll call back but you better fucking tell me what it’s about in the message and not just “Hey call me” or some other vague nonsense.
