asret@lemmy.zip 2 months agoAs someone who’s not used these things, what’s wrong with a basic handshake to establish the comms channel?
“Hey, are you listening?” “Yes, go ahead.” …
Isn’t that all this really is?
Seems a weird thing for people to be uptight about.

a handshake is a formality, it’s something you do to formalize an interaction, we’re formalizing an interaction on a platform that is so personally disconnected it might as well be irrelevant to begin with.
This isn’t two people in a room, you don’t need to get someones attention by saying “hey” you don’t need to open up to them by offering your hand for a handshake, you’re both there mutually for the purposes of talking, why wouldn’t you get straight to talking?
