It's a common asynchronous communication anti-pattern, there's a website dedicated to this: https://nohello.net/en/

I have found out a way to make people realize by themselves how inefficient this practice is: if I get a "hi" message without any further question/info, I will delay the response for a few hours. The next time I always get the full message right away.

I find it funny that there’s also a competing camp: https://yeshello.org

The timestamps kill me

Thanks for the tip. I need to try this one out.

I really despise this pattern, as described by OP.

Being passive aggressive is common among toddlers and mediocre companies.

People who build unicorns know how to communicate. It‘s not that hard, really.
