some people type faster than others, and more often than not being forced to move a conversation from general into random stunts conversations entirely.
plus it's much harder to get a point across when you have to have a conversation in 15 second increments; say you've already said something, so person b is going to respond to it. you've asked them a question or addressed something in a separate message. now person b is going to respond to what you said from a quarter of a minute ago and you'll be forced to ask them after they say something without full context/the question/etc. having conversations like that can *only ever be bad*.
a better solution would to be to remove the slowmode entirely, reduce it to something manageable and average for conversations or just make a #general-2 for conversations that are too off-topic
discord conversations often go by fast as well
i might be separating my messages like this,
since it's easier to just press enter than shift + enter, or maybe i'm presenting separate ideas in one message
saying that the slowmode is perfectly fine because of it blocking spam isn't acceptable.
lowering the timer would be a perfectly acceptable solution to that whilst not stopping conversation.
since i can type these sentences in way less than 15 seconds.
