I know when I had mostly stopped engaging with facebook, it started giving me absurd notifications, like "someone you don't know posted something in a group you never check." It starts looking kind of desperate.

I used to be on Facebook Dating, when I go awhile without logging in to facebook, it seems to remember that I was on it and starts telling me about potential matches with photos that seem to slowly get more attractive.
I hated that. "X posted a photo that is getting attention" and? Good for them, why do they need me to look if it's already getting attention.... 🙄
I deleted Reddit from my phone and I have all email notifications off, I don't get Reddit Notifications anymore.
Did you install the official Reddit app? Same happened to me when I did. They seem to enable notifications for recommended posts once you log in. I turned that shit off and deleted the app. I don’t want any settings changed by the mere act of logging in somewhere.
I used the official app on my phone and I had turned all notifications off. I left for good before the black out and never looked back. Then miraculously a week after the blackout the app turned on notifications and started spamming my phone. I deleted that shit immediately.
Which is exactly what Twitter did. Even with all notifications off, I still received several daily tweets about what Elon had tweeted. So I uninstalled it. Thankfully the PWA isn't quite as bad, but it still pesters me with tweets that it knows I'm more likely to engage with, because they are negative.
You won't get any notifications if you've [deleted].
Only have it because of my 🌽 account 🥶
Frozen corn is delicious.
Same they seem to be spamming, I'm getting shit I haven't even visited in forever
No bullshit official app, no account, no notifications. Easy.
