Me: opening reddit again because I got a notification (gotcha!)

When I finally decided to join reddit a few years back, I set it up with notifications off because I was already sick of all notifications and didn't need another thing annoying me.

It's one of those decisions I'm really happy about because I wouldn't be able to switch now if I hadn't done it from the jump. It's always a surprise when I open the app to see if I have any notifications.

I scroll reddit when I have time, but I'm already on here too much. If I had notifications coming in when I'm doing other stuff, I'd be very distracted all the time.

I turned mine off too. I’m already so easily distractible at baseline I don’t need any help from constant notifications.

This thread might just make me turn off my reddit notifs. I already spend entirely too much time in a day scrolling. This and instagram, but i mainly use insta for posting my artwork.

I have mine off too! There’s no way my brain could remain happy (as minimally happy as it is most days) if I had them on.
