> Notifications are actually very important for people who treat platforms interchangeably. How so? At least, I don't think that they're important to Lemmy, as it's not about real-time person-to-person communication, but rather discussion about topics.

It should probably facilitate discussions then 🤯 you can just silence & deprioritize notifications. The point is having it all in a unified feed. RSS does that well, but adding the RSS notifs of important shit + messages is helpful. People often need to continue conversations to clarify information & elaborate... I can't believe I'm saying something this obvious. Shades of Mastodon users justifying suicidal design choices that were later rolled back here. Nice ad for one of the apps that constantly pushes instances in the World (which blocks VPNs, nice privacy dumbasses!) social graph in multiple interfaces that are not adaptive to user experience https://lemmy.world/post/11967676 > If you encounter an issue where you cannot post or comment, **but voting is functioning correctly**, it is most likely because we have implemented a block for VPN & Tor users. Specifically allowing VPN voting 🤔 what a curious choice. Lemmy.world users [are so stupid that they don't even see the difference](https://lemmy.world/post/11967676/7550453) between having an anonymous account & having their IP scraped by random former Reddit mods. Raised in a barn, perhaps?
