While I agree with you that it should be an option to turn it off, who is telling you that you need to send a full message if someone sees you were typing?
We're the ones making the rules for this world full of technologies and we create the social rules for them daily with our own actions. Fuck that expectation, I'm sure other people can surmise what happened even if they noticed you were typing for just a second, they're working with the same limited software.
Lol. The amount of times I'm actually typing something and then think "nahhhhh, not worth it" and delete the whole thing anyway I think my friends are all used to this 😅
I accidentally hit characters and assume they all see me 'typing' for the next 12 hours until I notice.
I think the "typing" status is debounced to a few seconds only. You won't appear to be typing if you stop actually typing. At least that's how most messengers work that I use.
Have you considered that you don't have to send a full message when you mistype?
People know that happens
Why are you not fighting for this?
Vencord is not an app by itself. It injects into Discord.
Vesktop is a client that comes with Vencord and is much easier to maintain, especially on Linux.
Unless they were looking, they wont have seen it. And as far as I know, just the cursor being active sends the "typing" indicator in some apps. When I see it for just a second I just assume someone hovered over the chatbox for a bit.
No-one thinks it's weird for it to pop up for a second and then go away. Or for it to appear for a good while and still not get you a message. Sometimes I'll write a first draft of a response right away, then leave it there for hours while I think about it some more, before finalizing it.
It would be smart if chat apps implemented a minimum, where "typing" won't apper until you're three words into writing a response or something.
That way it wont go off over nothing. It's still useful, it lets you/them know whether you're getting/giving an immediate response, so you/they know whether the conversion is continuing right away, or later.
It heralds from Jabber, for when you wanted to indicate to peers that you are responding in chat about something. However it is Machiavellian social engineering (2×🔗) meant to decipher your stylometry, which data analyst brokers (2×🔗) corporations like pisscorp and valve enjoy to exploit.
A technique I used to use for when I used פיסכורפ was to use a text editor to type out my message, then copy&paste. Now I just use slidcord at my convenience, and will use a scraper&archiver soon™ to export stuff in communities I want to maliciously extrapolate. 🖕 Network Effected folks. Aint scanlating on JASRAC friendly snitches.
It’s kind of impressive that you managed to squeeze in so many links to references but without including any that actually back up the accusation you’re making.
For Valve, or Pisscorp? Unless you mean Leviathan Scans.
No, I mean the completely unfounded claim that discord’s typing indicators are somehow a tool for analysing users’ writing styles and selling that on to data brokers.
It’s so bizarrely specific that it comes across as an unhinged conspiracy theory, especially when it’s delivered as part of a link salad.
Hey, just be happy you're not in ICQ.
There was somebody else who works at the company I work at with the same name as me. I will often see my boss typing a message and it goes on for a very long time and then suddenly stops, that's when I realise that right at the last minute she's realised she's messaging the wrong person.
I cannot say I find the experience overly distressing.
