    • This is in English but it should really be in Turkish, Hindi, etc because there are cultures that do this 9/10 times, and cultures that do this 2/10 times. Sure it's generational…

Objections

  • Some people don't mind greetings or find hi annoying only sometimes

    From 2 comments
    • I must be the only person in the world who doesn't get annoyed by Hi

    • I don't get particularly annoyed by it, and I'm definitely more annoyed by the people who complain about it and/or reply with just the link to that "no hello" URL.

  • Sending the link can come across as rude

Requests

  • Support multiline message mode with ctrl+enter to send

    From 1 comment
    • Would be nice if anything that supports multiline messages let you toggle into a multiline mode where enter always puts in newlines and a combo like ctrl+enter sends the message.
