That's me with Wattpad right now. I barely ever am on there anymore, so I only ever get their official ad messages that I can't block when I go into the app.
Funnily enough, I opened the app earlier and there was a message reminding me that I can change in-app notifications. Didn't realize that was a thing because I haven't gone into settings for a while. But I definitely wasn't giving them push notification access, though.
There's something called Webcord, which is essentially a wrapper around the web version, with the added bonus of blocking various trackers and whatnot, so a bit more private.
I'm looking forward to when people abandon Discord. I'm so sick of the platform.
I find the more I remove myself from corporate, money driven social media the less this happens. May not be the answer for everyone, but it’s been working for me.

When you get a message, but it's from the Fediverse Chick.

I aggressively block those notifications, or remove the app. If they can't respect my boundaries, they aren't worth my time.

Cant you just turn off notifications in the settings?

With how many posts you've made to this sublemmy, I can't imagine you're lacking for meaningful notifications now!
Sending big hugs!
