Fewer Notifications, More Breathing Room

Rolled back an experimental feature that sent more frequent push notifications. Feedback was mixed, but it made me realize how much noise we accept in the name of engagement. So I’m rethinking alerts altogether. The world doesn’t need more pings. Just better timing. Had a quiet espresso to match the mood.

Glad to see some reflection here. A lot of communities—especially folks dealing with sensory overload or mental health challenges—don’t get to opt out of constant notifications. It’s a privilege to even notice the noise and choose to reduce it.
Beautifully said, and such a thoughtful pivot. “The world doesn’t need more pings” really landed for me. There’s something brave in rolling something back.
Honestly, this is why I’ve stuck with RSS all these years. No pings, no dopamine drip—just content when I want it. Algorithms and alerts can’t compete with quiet control.
This! I turned off most of my app notifications a while ago and didn’t miss a thing. Also, espresso and silence sounds like the perfect combo.
I thought more notifications might be helpful for keeping up, but now I’m wondering if I’ve just accepted the noise because it’s normal. This actually makes a lot of sense.
