I'd rather take a call than have to type on a godawful virtual keyboard to have a full conversation with a person.
If you are gonna force me to use SMS/RCS I'm gonna fuckin say "fuck it, I'd rather call."
If you can use fucking email or any kind of instant messenger, it's game on because at least I don't have to jump through fucking hoops to use those on my PC with a full keyboard.
I fucking loathe typing on a phone, and the more of I have to do, the more I loathe it. I love typing on a keyboard but most people are stuck in SMS/RCS world and often don't even have a computer of their own.
Yes, I'd rather take or make a fucking call.
I dunno, I've gotten pretty fast at typing on smartphones, not as fast as full keyboards, but fast enough that its decent typing out fairly lengthy messages and posts.
All my Lemmy comments are typed out on a smartphone for example, and if you know me around here I have some fairly lengthy comments LMAO
Still better than T9 lololol
If not in person, I prefer asynchronous conversation. It doesn't require my constant full attention, so if I'm working or something I can still engage; and if it's any kind of serious conversation (whether emotional or just reasoning out something complex), I can take my time to think about an answer to ensure I provide a complete and accurate (to the best of my ability) thought.
That said, no one ever seems to respond to texts, even if they started the conversation. It's a lot harder to do that in a voiced conversation.
I don't mind a call but I really appreciate the people who ask via message first!
There are multiple different ways to connect your phone to your computer to send/receive text messages on your computer.
I know, and I often use them, but they're a complete pain compared to using something native. KDE Connect breaks very often.
Have you tried speech to text on your phone? Is that easier for you? I use it. That's how I made this post.
Speech-to-text is cool and all (especially as a disability aid) but every company has enough data on me already without me voluntarily giving up my voice to them.
Another random suggestion, I recently got a PC keyboard that can pair to multiple Bluetooth devices.
Now that I can hit a button and switch to my phone, I no longer hate SMS quite so much
I also 3d printed a phone stand for my desk, which it turns out makes typing on it a lot nicer too
Fair enough
