I typically catch up with emails and DMs once a week, is this normal or do people get angry if turnaround is longer than a few minutes?
Discussion
Once a day
i pay for priority support
Mail = not instant reply but prefered 48h
DM = more instant reply
Phone call = important shit, f*cking answer!
I kinda do it every day 🤔
But I think a turnaround time of a couple of days, especially with emails, is perfectly fine
DMs?
Once a week is pretty slow for email. It would be quicker to use traditional mail. I know I'd expect some sort of acknowledgement earlier than a week. Maybe not a full response
Once a day was expected when I worked with others.
Turnaround time varied depending on urgency.
It's okay if you don't feel guilty and perma ghost.
No, a month or so is completely normal.
For work, email replies were expected within 48 hours, or at least confirmation of receiving the email and an estimate of how long you needed to get whatever the request was done. DMs were expected to be answered within an hour because nobody DMed unless it was important to get a fast answer.
Personally I try not to let emails go more than 2 days. People seem to DM about anything these days, so I’ll read it and based on what it is (and who it’s from) decide when to reply.
"Catching up" makes it almost sound like you reply to everyone, but you definitely do not.
Industry standard is max 48-hour turnaround. Less, for support issues.
Are you talking about nostr DMs? Not sure how you could know whether I definitely do not reply to everyone other than NIP-04 DMs 😅
A lot of people answered with the 48h turnaround as the norm 🤔
I'm talking about any hopeless attempt to work constructively with you. Had to give up.
Interesting, can you point to anything more specific?
I had the same impression with you; I found myself a few times responding (albeit unsolicited) to you only to never actually send the response thinking it might be misinterpreted.
This was my last, failed attempt. 🤷🏻♀️
I also wrote ngit issues and notes and tagged you. Nothing helped.
You jumped into one thread (because it was trending), and I explained the bug, in detail, and you were like user error whatever.
Depends how much ecash the incoming mail comes with. 🙃
It would be fun sending support requests with time ticking ecash bombs in the cases when *time is money*.
This might be a fun feature to put in the backlog for npub.email, stamps whose value expires over time, so if you don't read the letter within a specified amount of time the token expires and can be claimed back by the sender (like an HTLC)
I have sent you more than one DM. weks ago with no response. I gave up asking... moved on... using other #Nostr apps now. your loss.
Meanwhile other devs respond, interact, answer questions and help.
Guess who I'm #zapping ?
bro how often I DMed you just to reach you quicker by tagging you in a public post here on nostr
Haha so you’re saying tagging me on a public post is quicker? Haha yeah, sounds about right; I definitely open nostr apps more often than messaging apps 😂
I would probably lose many possible buyers if I did as you do.
Timing and presence are critical if I want to sell art.
I would have liked response to PR.. but kinda gave up after a month of no responses .. anyway, I wouldn't say I'm angry, just disappoint and informed as to where to spend my time 😁
Collaboration = Communication
It all boils down to synchrous and asynchronous communication.
the most efficient work is work you never do. postponing replies usually achieves this goal for me.
I prefer the async because I usually make bad decision if forced to decide immediately.
If you work privately (mostly off email/slack) then it makes sense to respond fairly quickly.
If you work publicly then it’s a matter of when the energy feels right. One week for DMs is pretty good. IME people usually feel grateful when responded to because the expectation is “this person probably won’t see it and is inundated with notifications”
I do the same. I set no expectation that emails are an instant response. If that’s needed folks can text or (heaven forbid) call me!
Don't worry about them. They need to take a chill pill. 😄
