I'm going to take it in a different tangent. I need less distraction. The latest one is MacOS Big Sur, anytime I open my MBP or actually anytime I step away and comeback it pops up a notification about my "Airpods Nearby" or something like that and if I don't respond it will do it again in 10 to 15 minutes (probably lost the signal for a moment) It sounds great but it's not. Instead what happens is I see the motion at the top right of the screen and it distracts me, I lose my train of thought. I either have to manually click on it (more distraction) or wait 10-15 seconds for it to go away. It the same with all the ridiculous badges in discourse. There's a notification or an unread (3) count and it's yet one more thing to distract me. Maybe it's a notification of a reply but if it turns out to be a notification of a badge then I've just been distracted and lost my train of thought. We need designers and companies to take an pledge/oath to stop trying to distract us. I get Facebook and Twitter may never do that but I feel like a lot of designers who would just haven't yet got the message that they are not helping their users by distracting them.
