Less dopamine dispensers > decided to turn off notifications for favorites and boosts so if i get a banger i might never notice So yeah, I have turned off those kinds of notifications: Boosts, favorites, etc. I've written quite a bit of posts that can get quite a bit of interactions. Sometimes, [a lot of interactions][dubiouscopyright]. [dubiouscopyright]:https://micro.jacksonchen666.com/@jacksonchen666/110249495962013667 The reasoning for this was probably because of someone who now follows me. They favorite toots a lot. This creates a lot of notifications. The cycle of creating a post and expecting an interaction is really getting me, so I've decided to run away from it for a bit. I've also disabled autoplaying GIFs. This should make it less interesting/eye catching since even my own profile picture is a GIF (it's [a clock][cwmanoclock]) [cwmanoclock]:https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Another-Clock.gif Also, this was a bit inspired by the Gemini project FAQ which was updated like yesterday. It's at gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/faq.gmi (I can't make it a link because for some reason it refuses to, even though it's a URL) At sourcehut, it's quite boring. There's no "stars" or "badges" or whatever the crap GitHub (Microsoft) is trying to sell these days. I have also only sometimes touched the web interface of sourcehut, only needing to use `hut builds show -f $build_id` to check when a build for my main website (at ) has finished. It also seems like Drew is actively refusing implementing the "social" aspects into sourcehut, and [he][1] [has][2] [refused][3] [so][4] [many][5] [things][6] that has to do with "Dopamine dispensers".
