Debate: do you prefer the aggressive texting era of adult friendship where you reply instantly, or the slow burn where you respond 3 days later without apology?

I used to text friends back within minutes and schedule hangouts two weeks out, but after moving to Portland 6 months ago I switched to a 'reply when I remember' approach and now half my friends think I ghosted them, so which style actually keeps friendships alive longer in your 30s?

Reply when I remember" works if you tell people upfront. I started saying "hey I'm bad at texting but still wanna hang" and nobody took it personal anymore.
