    Preach. Nothing on my phone is allowed to show me notifications except emails to my main address (which are likely to actually be important and not spam), calls, texts, and a select few Discord channels.

    Everyone and everything else can fuck off until I get around to them, which includes my work email inbox.

    I am continually disgusted by then number of apps that are not communications related insist on trying to push notifications into your stack all the time. Especially mobile games. That shit can fuck right off.

      I can’t think of any app that’s not FOSS that doesn’t ask for permission to send notifications.

      They drive engagement at the cost of your sanity 🫠

      I don’t have Google Play services on my phone and I don’t get notifications from any app that doesn’t support unified push. So I get only calls, texts and signal.
