I always wonder if people think I'm being rude by leaving them out of subsequent replies
when I do it because I worry about blowing up their notifications with irrelevant content 😅

Never seen a person say "leave me tagged!"
Conversely, "UNTAG ME OR I BLOCK," is pretty common.

yeah, after the first notification or two, they can always scroll down the replies
but if they stay tagged, they don't get a choice in receiving notifications

It would be so simple if Twitter did the bare minimum of UI design and left functions like this *optional*.
I just can't fathom the way they design even the simplest interactions. So many senseless choices that don't make sense even in terms of dark patterns. They're just bad.
Like I can understand why a clickfarm wants to show me 50 different ads dancing around the screen.
I can't understand why Twitter wants their notification system to be so ponderous. It doesn't serve any useful function to them.

I wonder if it's one of those monoliths of technical debt. Like it's so deeply embedded and tightly coupled that changing it would be less of a redesign and more of a complete overhaul touching myriad other parts of the site
(ofc, if it's not... then Twitter, why??)
