US politics is all 4chan vs SomethingAwful these days.
I just logged onto Twitter desktop and had 5 notifications since last looking on the train an hour ago. That used to mean there were 5 instances of someone either mentioning me or interacting with one of my Tweets. Now it's zero interactions and five things I don't care about, one of which was a notification that Musk had posted more misleading pish. I don't follow him or any of the others I was notified about. It's been like that for a while now but 5 irrelevant notifications in an hour is a new level of annoyance. When Facebook started doing that, I more or less stopped using it.
Those non-interaction notifications are annoying - but they usually are someone I follow starting a live stream or something like that.I just logged onto Twitter desktop and had 5 notifications since last looking on the train an hour ago.

I just got one of those - SpaceX, who I do actually follow. I still don't want notifications when they stream but at least I follow them. The five last night, not only do I not follow them, I have Musk muted and he's still appearing in my notifications.Those non-interaction notifications are annoying - but they usually are someone I follow starting a live stream or something like that.
