@TechConnectify For what it's worth, they are working on grouping notifications. From Mastodon's CTO: https://oisaur.com/@renchap/111348686685213485

@val Great, but it's really goddamn late and screams to me how little leadership cares to cater to larger accounts.

@TechConnectify
Respectfully disagree. The project has been developed for free primarily by volunteers and they've been focused on the small groups of users interested in experimenting with something new for 5-6 years before the Twitter implosion drove a wave of new accounts with different needs to the network, which they have been responding to as quickly as they can given the available resources.

The main guy developing it for years has been earning 30k euros/yr through the nonprofit org building it, versus millions of VC that Bluesky is burning through and however much Twitter and FB/Insta have spent over the years.

I appreciate most of your comments in this thread, but wanted to push back on this one that seemed more rude toward the very small team working hard to bring us the service
@val

@_dmh @val Frankly, it was phrased rudely because this seems like such an obvious pain-point with regards to usability. I cannot believe that it hasn't come up in the last two years. Hell, probably five.

Notifications are pretty much useless to me here when something's going out beyond my audience (like today) and tedious on a good day.

Of course I respect the limited resources, but this particular thing is inexcusable to me.

@TechConnectify @_dmh What is your use of notifications on other websites? Is it only to see messages people send at you, or are you interested in "X people boosted your tweet" too?
