I miss msn messenger because you could clearly delineate when you were online and offline

you would sign in and your friends would get notified that you signed in and people would talk to you

and then you could sign out and it was a clear boundary for “I’m not gonna reply”

now there’s this weird nebulous space with mobile messaging apps where the distinction between “available” and “unavailable” is not so clear

ofc the solution is probably just “use a messaging app or whatever that has these features” but I don’t know anyone whom I could convince to switch messaging apps just to talk to me lol

@variance Yeah I have this problem a lot

Not using Whatsapp (or FB Messenger) makes just staying connected with people really difficult, but they're some of the worst for this stuff x.x

@pastelbat yeah, those are the main two apps I use but only because everyone I know is on them and doesn’t want to switch, welp
