Please don’t lobby for standards of social behavior that substantially disadvantage the majority to save a little awkwardness for a minority.

I want people to ping me. I don’t mind “hello” in chat. It makes sense. It is a stand-in for dropping by my desk.

If I were working with you I would be very willing to accommodate your anxiety. But what you’re doing here is implying that we all want to shut down casual real-time chatting (wherein I don’t want to say anything of substance unless I know my correspondent is present).
