I'd like to thank my supporters...

I'm normally an inbox-zero kind of person, because unaddressed notifications are super stressful for me. But I haven't used gmail for anything but spam in a several years so this prompted me to go have a look:

3,958 in my inbox - and instead of stress, I love it. Over 1300 of those are because I, apparently, never deleted my ~~xenophobia.com~~ nextdoor account.

~~xenophobia.com~~ lol, that’s so true though. On mine there is a lady who posts about 100 times per day, so she clearly doesn’t have a job. And she is obsessed with thinking there are gunshots. We live in a super safe suburban neighborhood. There are no gunshots. It’s hilarious.
- I stopped visiting very shortly after it opened up because every post was stuff like you said:
  
  "Where those gunshots?"
  
  No it was the prick 2 blocks over that lights off fireworks all year long or the train yard that's about a mile from here.
  
  "Tall man in hoodie walks down street! Who has photos?"
  
  I might. I'm tall, usually wear a hoodie, and am able to walk.
  
  "Thieves walk among us! I left a bowl of walnuts on my porch overnight and now they're gone!!!"
  
  That explains the squirrel sitting on my fence patting its belly.
  
  I used to think I just had extra shitty neighbors, but I've heard similar from a lot of people.
- It’s me. I clap some 2x4s together occasionally, to keep her on her toes.
- We did have a hilarious troll who would rage about people taking a shit in their mailbox. Or maybe someone really kept shitting in their mailbox. Either was it was an entertaining read.
- more sad than funny tbh, the internet definetly broke old people

You’ll get a silver coated Gmail logo in the mail to hang on your wall for clout

Y'all talking about the emails but I was shocked to learn that other people have enough texts to not read them all...

2FA codes where you can read everything you need from the notification area?
I'm a government official, and my work cell is like that.

I don't respond to texts on that number because text messaging isn't a proper channel for official communication.
- You don't read them either though?
🎶Blame it on my AD(H)D baby🎶

If it's over 1000 it should just display the infinity symbol like the GitHub PR UI, since it might as well be infinity

Lmao Github does that? May I see a screenshot?
- I don't think so, it abbreviates it to 1k.
  
  edit: yup, it does that
- I can't recall the number of files needed for that but yes I've seen it a few times!

Side note, but ever since I removed those app notifications, my experience with going through my home screen felt much better.

What bothers me more is the 465 unread texts… man are you some kinda douchebag?!?!

Not sure if groupchats are included in that number but depending on the groups you're in that could be accumulated in about 10 minutes.
- Which is why I avoid group chats….
