Health Science 101 Guidelines
Greetings! Welcome to Health Science.
Here's where we talk about the latest fad diets, the advantages of vegetarianism, the joy of exercise and good health. Like everywhere else at Tweb our decorum rules apply.
This is a place to exchange ideas and network with other health conscience folks, this isn't a forum for heated debate.

I'm wondering about notifications. I find them annoying and have them turned off except for email. I would think a barrage of notifications coming in all the time would be at least distracting. I think they got started to use people's fear of missing out. What do you do when a site asks to provide notifications?"For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings." Hosea 6:6

I signed up for the GoPuff app to get some ice cream delivered once when my wife wasn't feeling good. I then started getting occasional "you are feeling very hungry" push notifications.
Even something like a weather app, I wouldn't want push notifications for. If there's actually something like a tornado warning, any phone will automatically pass along the warning from the National Weather Service. (Living near the confluence of three counties, I tend to accidentally get unneeded ones from one of the others, but it's better to err on the side of caution.)
I have a couple apps for group chats and I have those set up to notify if someone directly mentions me there, which rarely happens."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion.

Saw this article over at BBC News about people quitting social media for various reasons. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-63482162
The article also says use of social media is showing a decline. I wonder if we've past peak social media usage."For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings." Hosea 6:6

I don't view Tweb as social media since we don't have a large corporation trying to make money off us. Also, frankly, as annoying as some debates can get, they still probably aren't as bad as on say Twitter."For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings."
