NO H|

please don't say just hello in chat


IMAGINE CALLING SOMEONE ON THE PHONE, GOING HELLO! THEN PUTTING THEM ON HOLD...
🤦‍♀️


❌ DON'T DO THIS

You 2:15 PM
hi
Lockoo 2:19 PM
...?
You 2:20 PM
what time was taht event again?
Lockoo 2:20 PM
oh - 3:30

Note that You could have got my answer minutes sooner, and needn't have kept me
waiting. In fact, I could have started thinking about the question right away!

People who do this are generally trying to be polite by not jumping right into
the request, like one would in person or on the phone - and that's great! But
it's 2024 and chat is neither of those things. For most people, typing is much
slower than talking. So despite best intentions, you're actually just making the
other person wait for you to phrase your question, which is lost productivity
(and kinda annoying).

The same goes for:

 * "Hello, are you around?"
 * "hi Lockoo - quick question."
 * "You got a sec?"
 * "yt?"
 * "ping"
 * etc...

Just ask the question! 😫


✅ INSTEAD TRY THIS

BetterYou 2:15 PM
Hiya! What time was the event?
Lockoo 2:15 PM
hey, 3:30
BetterYou 2:15 PM
Awesome, see you then!
Lockoo 2:16 PM
np ^^

If you feel it's a bit brusque to simply say "Hi" and ask the question, you can
still preface your message with as many pleasantries as you see fit.

For example:

 * "hey, what's up? also, any idea when the event is?"
 * "Hi there! Hope you're well. Do you know what shader you used on that avi
   from before?"
 * "hey, if you're not busy, could you tell me what avi that was I saw you in?"
 * etc...

It may seem trivial, but asking your question before getting that initial
salutatory reply also allows for asynchronous communication. If the other party
is away, and you leave before they come back, they can still answer your
question, instead of just staring at a "Hello" and wondering what they missed.

When done right - everyone's happy! 🎉

This is kinda only half serious (kinda 👀) so please don't get mad at the person
who sent you here.

That said, if you see this sites URL as someone's status/bio, be prepared to be
ignored if you only say "Hello!"
