The BuzzKill app for Android allows you to do this, it's been a game changer for me.

It allows me to choose whether I want to auto-mute notifications when they are sent within X seconds of eachother in the same group chat.

My apologies for the confusion.

In my original comment, I was talking about the term "tankie", which is a term we're seeing used a lot on Lemmy (a social media) to refer to people who support authoritarian governments (of countries, such as Russia and China).

In my reply to you, I meant to say that the effects of a Lemmy instance being "authoritarian" aren't at all as harmful to its users as an authoritarian country is to its residents, since it's easy to change instances but its not generally easy (and sometimes not reasonably possible) to change countries.

Sure? But Blahaj isn't a country, it's a social media.

I'm free to register on multiple instances at once. If I ever became displeased with Blahaj's admins, I could very easily go elsewhere.

ah, then my impressions are biased, since I haven't heard that term outside of Lemmy.

There's pretty much only one person I know irl that calls themselves a "centrist".

People designated .ml as a tankie instance for very good reason: the admins of .ml have repeatedly shown to be pro-authoritarian.

For years now I've seen incessant gaslighting from tankies pretending that "tankie" is some catch-all term baselessly thrown around like "woke". However, I've pretty much exclusively seen the term "tankie" used to describe people who support authoritarian regimes/dictatorships.

ah, I was wondering because, in comparison to my native tongue (French), I've found English significantly more intuitive. I may be biased though, or French may just be another mongrel of a language 😅

My uneducated feeling so far is that most languages weren't developed with particularly logical rules, and rules were added retroactively, and as such, most languages are ugly amalgamations, but English gets some of the worst rep because of its dominance on the internet.

my bad, I guess I should've worded this better.

we have two choices:

  1. democrats win
  2. republicans win

which of those two outcomes would you rather have?
