The only thing on my phone that's allowed to notify me are messaging apps, and even then, only for direct messages, not groups.
Social media, games, sites, and everything else can all fuck right off - you do not get to demand my attention unbidden, and if you misbehave you are going in the trash.
Doing the same. It’s way too common for people just to leave on everything and then they barely reply to messages because they didn’t see them and are stressed all the time.
this is how i live also, i mean the alternative would be how i see everyone with too many notifications; they eventually get to be too many and they just get lost in the sauce.
I didn't expect my comment to be that controversial but I guess not everyone has the right decree and balance of stoicism, anxiety and procrastination to achieve perfection
Sure, I didn't want to accuse you or something. I just wanted it to be a separate comment (and not just an edit) and didn't want to answer myself. In fact I'm not even mad at the downvotes. I just think it's funny how controversial it got. It's not downvoted into oblivion, it got quite a balance of up and downvotes. So I guess I speak to the hearts of some and the envy of others.
I do too, but I've started missing way too many of the notifications that I actually want to register receiving. Recently I've taken a round of actually enable/disable notifications on things so that I'll be better at filtering out and catching the stuff I want to pay attention to.
The notification settings on iOS let you disable that entire feature. No badges, no banners, no dings, what happens when I open the Mail app after a week? IT’S A SURPRISE!
Some sites have started sending them to you before you've even done anything!
Never been to this site before? Don't worry, chat bubble in the upper corner already displaying a little red dot with a 5 in it. There's already an AI chatbot trying to offer help and discounts off on things and ... AUGH!
What's funny is those always make me immediately think the site is a scam of some sort even though they're everywhere. I get this feeling like I should leave the site as soon as I can
on android you can hide any of them, all from an app or just the category that annoys you. long press on the notification and tap the cog.
notifications that can't be cleared have their place too, formerly apps needed that to be able to keep running in the background. but that still works if you hide that specific notification.
but google shuffled that up in recent versions because people were complaining who didn't know notifications can be hidden permanently..
yeah that's me, I don't care about inbox zero. I just read the subject line. If it is important i read the email if it's not i leave it. Not gonna waste time clearing my inbox. I look at my inbox like a couple of times a day, so the badge isn't that important for me. I could turn the badge off, but i just can't be bothered.
Not all of these are gonna be important and at this point most of them are expired anyway. Just read the last 200, archive the rest and do better from then on.
Select all, mark as read, archive. Read the last 100 or 200. If he did'nt have the necessity to read them until now, he could also delete them for good.
Aside from the 10 notifications I have 24/7 on silent because otherwise most of my Apps couldnt run (frickin google making it so you need to use their system for an app to run in the background) I only get notifications if someone calls me, or texts me via telegram, or if I need to install Updates from Obtainium or Fdroid
Lemmy? No notifications. E1547? No. Antennapod? Kinda, I set it on auto download so I have something to listen to. Newpipe also only refreshes when I want it to, I don't need to have the „Pyro raging at Inflation joke” fed to me every day.
These went away on my MILs phone (I think after an update), so she was freaking out that she couldn't tell when someone had texted her. Other than the notification bar and chime when they were received, that is.
I also only allow notifications like this on select apps. Direct messaging, mostly. I let Bandcamp tell me about new albums and the library tell me about when my books are available/due, but that's about it.
That's how I filter our ads. I turn my ears off and refuse to look at the screen. Moreover, if I unfortunately do hear what the ad is about, it goes into a little box of "never touch these products ever again in the future."
If you advertise to me, it only signals me to avoid you like the plague, if anything at all.
It's an iPhone, I'm not sure how much of a thing those are. I know for the handful of specific apps that I've bothered to check for my significant other, I've always come up empty handed.

I just ignore them. At some point they lose any meaning whatsoever

That's nice for you, but the urgent feeling doesn't dissipate for some people.

Uh, sure. For the record, I upvoted you to offset the downvotes others gave. I didn't feel like your comment was a downvotable one.

I think most launchers (on Android) allow to hide these "dots"

tatann@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 348d
Lack of fine settings :/
I like the ability to have notifications (with or without sound) but no badge (or the opposite if someone likes it the other way)
aeronmelon@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 348d
I was just being funny about it. Every type of notification has its own settings, and you can change those settings on an app by app basis.
SassyRamen@lemmy.world · 29 pts · 348d
No one in my life understands this. I haaaaate having these notifications. The worst ones are those that can't be cleared.

You probably rightfully decline when your browser asks you "Allow somenews.site to send you notifications?"

I tur off notificatuons for over 90% of that shit. Direct messages I need and I need to know when my daily chess moves are (duh).
Nothing else compels me.

A friend of mine has more than 2000 unread mails, and he just left them there with that big fat number covering half of the icon. Like, bruh.

Rookie numbers. My ex boss had at least 10k at any time. I'd help him clear them out down to 8k and he'd be back up to 15k the following week.

Can't they be disabled? I haven't got an iphone, but these would piss me off a lot
fartsparkles@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 348d
Settings > Notifications > (App Name) > Uncheck “Badges”.
For whatever reason, you still can’t do it globally and must do it per-app.

No Google Play Services, no more marketing notifications. Bliss and privacy.

... being bothered by dots is the same as being bothered by calls or knocks on your door.
Just mediate until your brainhole develops an indiscriminate ignore all toggle.

Android has it. As does Windows, for taskbar icons anyways.

Yeah, I recognised the settings icon :).
The foss app pool is def shallow af (store can't make a profit on free), and even those that exist are distributed through their store.
