I have an uncle who’s a homosexual “pray away the gay” ultra conservative Christian currently married to a woman. Scummiest most hateful bigoted abuser I’ve ever had the displeasure of meeting. He recently had a heart attack, unfortunately he recovered, but I would like to give satan another shot at the soul he’s owed. Alas, I moved leagues away to get away from those people so no dice. Good idea to bank though.

Now I feel a need to know: does Grindr really have a custom notification noise, one that sounds different from any other app!?
Macchi_the_Slime@piefed.blahaj.zone 12 hours ago
Yes it does. The notification noise is actually linked in a couple of other comments in this thread. I’m ace so I’ve never used the app personally but it’s rather distinctive to at least my ear and unlike any notification noise I’ve ever heard in a default Android environment. idk about Apple, but after hearing the noise myself I 100% believe that anyone who has used that app for any appreciable amount of time would absolutely recognize that notification noise immediately.

I’ve seen a buncha stories similar to this one about people freaking out thinking it’s coming from their phone. I have to imagine it’s some big unique thing that puts you in mind of half naked navy sailors swabbing the deck to show tunes or something with how often I’ve seen it refrenced

I asked my 26 year old son if he knew about 67, and he didn’t. I was so happy to know something about young people that he didn’t.

Pro tip: You can customize the sound notifications now, even on the free tier.

What person under 50 even has notification sound turned on?

My phone is on 24/7 silent mode so I’m not up to date, but isn’t this something you could do on the OS level?
Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Ah, my bad! You’re right. I completely forgot I set it via the notifications panel on Android.
thevoidzero@lemmy.world 1 day ago
If you have freedom OS, definitely

This is the way! Bonus points if you set it up on a timer so that you can have your phone face down when it occurs, saving you from any suspicion.

What does that noise sound like?
Dave@lemmy.nz 1 day ago
Do different apps have different notification sounds? I’m a vibrate only person but I thought a notification sound was a notification sound, not some custom ring tone.
tomiant@piefed.social 1 day ago
I’m a sounder. I’ll take sounding over the vibrator every time!
BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 7 hours ago
Some apps have a choice of sounds, and you can also select notification sounds through your OS, or turn them off altogether, which is what I’ve done. I don’t need every app I have beeping whenever THEY think something is important.
SaltyIceteaMaker@lemmy.ml 1 day ago
ig it depends on OS? like maybe on IOS apps can choose their own sound? i always had a system wide notification tone on android

Or your cousin with the conservative parents who isn’t out and still lives at home…
For God’s sake please don’t do this.
Macchi_the_Slime@piefed.blahaj.zone 12 hours ago
idk, this might just be me being ace and not understanding the tribulations of people that actually have a desire to have sex. But as a trans person who has been in the closet, I can’t imagine going on Grindr if I was gay but still living with conservative parents and closeted. That feels like a risk I’d be way too scared to take.
I’m also always down to use my experience being closeted against bigots. As has at least 90% of gay men I’ve known. Like yeah, making my identity/sexuality The Joke feels bad. But I feel like when that joke is being played specifically on a bigot a lot of us get a lot of catharsis from it. Cuz at that point the joke isn’t “Being gay is bad” it’s “Welcome to the family cousin Jed” and the punchline is their freaking out about it.
idk I’m kinda rambling now. I just feel like it’s different because in a lot of these cases it is the queer kids that were closeted and made fun of that are saying “Wouldn’t it be funny if we turned it around on them for once?”
FridaySteve@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
Ok but I think making that joke using someone else’s minority status is pig behavior. But I was a teenager in the 90s when someone else thinking you’re gay could get you an ass-beating or get you fired from your job or worse (Matthew Shepard). Being an ally to lgbt folks in a lot of ways meant keeping your mouth shut way more than it meant speaking out. Maybe it’s different nowadays.
