To each their own, I guess. I usually chat with multiple friends and do other things at the same time, so to have to stop everything to listen to a voice note of someone pausing and trying to figure out what to say feels like they're intentionally making me wait for their convenience.

Lol, it's definitely possible to do this with text too "typing..."

Not familiar with Signal, does it require you to hold something down as it plays?

No, but if you leave the screen to read another message it stops (plus my brain can't process more speech if it's already listening, so I have to stop all speech-related tasks until your note is done).
