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

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?

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.

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”

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

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. 🤷🏻‍♂️

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.

Video memes. Another place I keep the sound at 0.

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.

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

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.

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others’ questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That’s it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it’s in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
