What's the difference?

(It would typically be initiated the same way, e.g. via a Slack question if they are ok talk on the phone. If there's no reply and it's blocking other stuff; yeah I am going to place an actual 20th century phone call.)

Picking up a phone is interrupting as hell for me.

Clicking the green button on Discord or a softphone is not.

Seriously? What is the difference? Telephone handset vs headphones?
It's just ridiculously foreign and breaks my train of thought. No idea why, just a mental thing.

I have never used a physical 'telephone handset' (and don't have a desk phone)

Please don't startle the millennials. They are unique snowflakes.
