> My second proposal — and this is a wild one — is that promotional notifications should just not be allowed. Or you can opt in to them if you desperately want to hear from the Starbucks app every single day, but you should have to go out of your way to do that and should not be the default behavior when you choose “allow notifications.” Just an idea!
Yep, this is my biggest complaint. I don’t want offers from Uber/Doordash/etc but I do want notifications of where my driver/food is, there is no middle ground in most apps. It’s all or nothing. I’d settle for a third party filtering app/service but that’s also a privacy nightmare.
In addition I’d love to be able to set up DnD on a fine grained level. I don’t want and all or nothing for something like discord. I’d like to let specific people through while ignoring channel notifications. I know this can sort of be done inside Discord/Slack/etc but I really don’t want to have to manage it in so many places.
