"Do you want to _?"
* "Yes"
* "Maybe later".
To whoever designs this style of interface: be an adult and accept rejection, don't be like a abusive boyfriend that doesn't take "no" for an answer. It's perfect fine to have the "Maybe Later" option as long as there is a "No". Forcing people who don't want to do something to say "Maybe later" isn't a good look. It makes your whole product seem creepy as fuck with no respect for consent.
Maybe later? Maybe go fuck yourself.

@thezerobit Lack of "No" or "No! I said you, NO, b@stard!!!" button is not about being adult, it just about considering people as "users", some kind of slavery, similar to relationship between dealer and "user" of an abusive instance, like heroine or crack.
@aral Looks like another example happened of what you said about, when people seen as "users" without any autonomy and personhood.

@koteisaev @thezerobit Sorry, original post was deleted so I can’t see what you’re referring to here.

@aral It was not deleted, so I guess there is some federation issue between servers.
In shortly, that post is critique of that practice of using "Yes" and "May be later", without any option of say "No" to something, as common practice of today "user experience"

@koteisaev Ah, right. Just went on the profile and saw it. And yeah, agree 100%. In fact, it’s the one gripe I have with @signalapp – the “turn on notifications” prompt does not have a “no” option. It says “We’ll remind you again later.” That’s a dark pattern that I’m assuming was an oversight or the work of an rogue overzealous developer that I’d love to see rectified (CC @Mer__edith)
