No Google Play Services, no more marketing notifications. Bliss and privacy.
I dont get that
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.
I turn that off
I rarely ever see these. What do people do for this to happen?
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.
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.
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.
Notifications are a cognitohazard
They are an SCP
I’d say more of an ISMB.
Every old-ish person I know has thousands of YouTube and Gmail notifications
… 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.

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.
Whoa, does that flower have only one fossy app (Wiki) on their phone??
Perhaps lawnmowering you lawn isn’t always that bad … (it is tho)
On android all my life and never had red dots. I guess this is on iPhones?
Android has it. As does Windows, for taskbar icons anyways.
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.
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
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.
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 think most launchers (on Android) allow to hide these “dots”
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!
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)
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.
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.
