LB: I don't understand why nobody else seems to have a 1 strike and you're out policy for mobile app push notifications. The only thing I allow to do push notifications on my phone is texting. Not even Discord gets to send me push notifications. Apps dictating when you look at them? Fucking ridiculous

My dishwasher sent me a notification saying I haven’t checked the app in a while

Yes, because I don’t need to use the app to use the dishwasher?? Silence, machine

I straight up forget about some of the apps I have installed, I appreciate a push notification once in a while honestly. The trick is being very selective

if a game asks me for notification permissions on first boot there’s a high chance of quick uninstall

I wish that I could permanently dismiss every indicator from an app that says "hey, you have notifications turned off"

no shit I do! I do not want or need a push notification!

in reply to Eniko (moved ➡ gamedev.place)

exactly what I do. most apps get no notification privileges or any other data / functionality. apps that continuously try and nag me to turn this on get deleted.

This got totally out of hand back when I still used facebook. Want your phone to ping every time one of your hundreds of contacts posts something? Probably not. But we'll do it by default!

I also have a zero tolerance policy for unwanted notifications. Apps that demand my attention for some bullshit I never asked for go straight to the bitbucket and do not get a second chance.
