there are some annoying misfeatures in abusive software that keeps nagging you with "yes" or "later" questions, hoping you'll eventually change your mind or, more likely, make a mistake
but where such "remind me later" features would be most useful, namely in instant messaging and social media, they seem to be conspicuously absent in my experience
would your uses of IM/SM benefit from the ability to mark read posts as unread, and to request re-notification at later times, or when you arrive at certain locations, where you can more properly deal with them?
I see other people anxious about responding to IM/SM posts right away, myself included, because such media keep you in an eternal present, without much memory of the past, and if you, like me, don't have much memory yourself, forgetting to respond later is a near certainty without other means to remind you
