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??)

probably some % of those conversations end up spiralling into conflict bombs, which is massive engagement, which pushes up all the metrics
roouughhhlyy similar to how conspiracy vids, hate vids etc get boosted on youtube
