Like, are you ever about in public, hear that ding and think “ah yes, homosexuality.”
If I find out then I’ll 100% be making it my ringtone to see which of my friends/colleagues react
I don’t even know what my messages notification sounds like.
You assume I’m ever “about in public”?
Unless grinder got a custom notification sound, saying something like “Im gonna prone bone til you gone” i would probably write it off as some message notification
No, I would have no idea. It’s a standard notification? You can’t choose the sound? If it was a ladies site I’d say “vibrate” would be the obvious choice, but for a gay men’s site, no idea.
No volume, vibrate, led, or push notifications. If you want my attention badly enough, call. And I will screen the call and text you back at my convenience. I will not be on a leash. Now excuse me while I doomscroll for 2 to 17 hours.
2 to 17 inclusive or exclusive?
on grinder… still don’t know what the sound is. :-( Holy shit, Grindr is so far ahead of any hetero dating app.
My phones have been silent forever. I hate all notification sounds.
Not at all
Who keeps notifications on? Anything? I put my phone on silent back in 2012 and I’ve never looked back.
Edit. Sorry, to clarify. I turn notification sounds off. Still get the actual pop up… Some not important ones get total silents but still pop a bubble so at some point I’ll look at it. For those things that need to be noticed i make sure they vibrate and pop up on my watch. Still not a sound to be heard.
Me. I work freelance. I can’t afford to miss an email.
The trick is only to have important inbox notifications on and no notifications for any other apps. Then you don’t need to put your phone on silent.
All my coworkers. Full volume.
This comes up every once in a while. Apparently there are a surprising number of people on Lemmy who are still commited to using audible notifications.
There are a surprising number of people who have notifications on for stuff that needs to mind its own business.
Discord is the only thing muted for me, but I get so few notifications anyway it doesn’t matter.
Not notifications, but I have to leave my volume on in case there’s an emergency call from work or a friend
The only thing I think when I hear someone else’s notification is, why the fuck is it so loud and why the fuck aren’t they silencing it?
Why… would we? This makes no sense.
I never used twitter, but I still know what the notification sound sounds like because of memes
I don’t. What kind of memes centre around Twitter notification sounds, anyway?
There’s silly meme video compilations, and they are about anything
Does anyone have the sound on these days? My volume is set to 0 most of the time, I have no idea what any of the sounds are now.
Important emails. All other notifications are unnecessary garbage.
Only older people from what I’ve seen. At least, whenever I hear a ping out in public, it’s always someone older
So, to answer your question, no, not really
I turned on my volume the other night to make sure I heard my alarm, and forgot to turn it off. I learned a lot of notification sounds that day. Or would have if I’d paid attention beyond “Oh, a notification”
Im not even straight and I don’t know the sound, why would anyone who has no reason to use the app know it?
Hearing it in video memes and having it explained what it is? Only thing I can think of where one might know without having first-hand experience. 🤷🏻♂️
Video memes. Another place I keep the sound at 0.
Maybe that :3… if the grindr sound was ever a meme I missed it tho
I was thinking about this guy at Eurovision.
I just get a little paranoid that I’ll forget to put my phone on silent and the little old ladies at the thrift will sniff me out.
I love the reaction. “It seems like you are having a lovely weekend here in Malmö” 😂 Happy for him, but understand the embarrassment as well.
I would not have recognized that sound before I heard it now.
Dude. Fuck the old ladies! I mean, not sexually…but, fuck them if they want to judge you for being gay.
You’re going to buy some dvds, or some clothes, or whatever you came to the thrift store for. They’re going to droll on living their meaningless lives. And you’ll still be getting more cock than they will.
This coming from a straight guy who just wants everyone to be happy being themselves. Unless that true self is a hateful prick who judges others for existing. Fuck those people. You wanna marry a gothic nun vampire hunter? Go for it. I won’t understand it, but I don’t have to. It’s not my life you’re affecting. And same for these old ladies. They can either accept you, or fuck off.
for context, this is what it sounds like:
https://youtu.be/kURiwTXmGZgI thought it sounded like an impression of someone doing the notification sound in a song lol
I now know it due to this post. 100% will never remember it. Sounds like a very generic notification.
