I'm normally an inbox-zero kind of person, because unaddressed notifications are super stressful for me. But I haven't used gmail for anything but spam in a several years so this prompted me to go have a look:

3,958 in my inbox - and instead of stress, I love it. Over 1300 of those are because I, apparently, never deleted my ~~xenophobia.com~~ nextdoor account.

[–] ickplant 42 points 1 week ago (4 children)

~~xenophobia.com~~ lol, that’s so true though. On mine there is a lady who posts about 100 times per day, so she clearly doesn’t have a job. And she is obsessed with thinking there are gunshots. We live in a super safe suburban neighborhood. There are no gunshots. It’s hilarious.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I stopped visiting very shortly after it opened up because every post was stuff like you said:

  • "Where those gunshots?"
    • No it was the prick 2 blocks over that lights off fireworks all year long or the train yard that's about a mile from here.
  • "Tall man in hoodie walks down street! Who has photos?"
    • I might. I'm tall, usually wear a hoodie, and am able to walk.
  • "Thieves walk among us! I left a bowl of walnuts on my porch overnight and now they're gone!!!"
    • That explains the squirrel sitting on my fence patting its belly.

I used to think I just had extra shitty neighbors, but I've heard similar from a lot of people.

[–] Korne127 22 points 1 week ago

Maybe it's not that the neighbours are awful but that the subset of neighbours that use this kind of app is mostly awful.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Omg, my neighbour feeds the squirrels also, because he thinks they can't fend for themselves.... So I had shells, bread, trays for water, etc. just littered at my front door. While he lives above me, not thinking about the consequences of feeding wild animals.

[–] KellysNokia 2 points 1 week ago

The trouble is caused by completely unreasonable folks who if it weren't for the internet would be silently stuck in their house peering out the window and keeping their miserable energy to themselves.

...thinking about it a similar explanation goes for a lot of toxicity you see on the internet!

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It’s me. I clap some 2x4s together occasionally, to keep her on her toes.

[–] Fuckfuckmyfuckingass 7 points 1 week ago

Doin' the Lord's work.

[–] ickplant 11 points 1 week ago

We did have a hilarious troll who would rage about people taking a shit in their mailbox. Or maybe someone really kept shitting in their mailbox. Either was it was an entertaining read.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

more sad than funny tbh, the internet definetly broke old people

[–] ickplant 4 points 1 week ago

While I don’t disagree with you, she looks to be in her 50s. That’s hardly old. But yes, they fall prey to every single propaganda piece ever written on FB.

[–] Squorlple 33 points 1 week ago

You’ll get a silver coated Gmail logo in the mail to hang on your wall for clout

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I had this before, but with 7k emails I think.

I just took an hour or two of my time to clean it up completely.

  • Find an email from a service that you don't want
  • Click "unsubscribe"
  • Search all emails from the service
  • Delete them all
  • Repeat

When clicking "Unsubscribe" and you are redirected to a mailchimp or similar email service, select "I did not sign up for this". This way they can get in trouble with their email service :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Usually I did sign up for it though :/

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Well I'm from Europe. Being added to marketing mails without my explicit consent is illegal.

It's funny because I have a GDPR complaint against a big online service that added me to their marketing list after using their online contact form to get some information. I thought it was a simple complaint but a few months later I got a legal document outlining all of the infractions they made and that there's now a case open against this company.

If you signed up for their mails willingly that's a totally different story of course.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Y'all talking about the emails but I was shocked to learn that other people have enough texts to not read them all...

[–] perviouslyiner 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

2FA codes where you can read everything you need from the notification area?

[–] chiliedogg 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm a government official, and my work cell is like that.

I don't respond to texts on that number because text messaging isn't a proper channel for official communication.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You don't read them either though?

[–] chiliedogg 2 points 5 days ago

Nope. I'm not acting on any information that can't be pulled in an Open Records Request after I leave the city.

🎶Blame it on my AD(H)D baby🎶

[–] TrickDacy 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If it's over 1000 it should just display the infinity symbol like the GitHub PR UI, since it might as well be infinity

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Lmao Github does that? May I see a screenshot?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I don't think so, it abbreviates it to 1k.

edit: yup, it does that

tensorflow repo screenshot with 3k PRs

[–] TrickDacy 1 points 1 week ago

I can't recall the number of files needed for that but yes I've seen it a few times!

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago

Side note, but ever since I removed those app notifications, my experience with going through my home screen felt much better.

[–] billwashere 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What bothers me more is the 465 unread texts… man are you some kinda douchebag?!?!

[–] TwanHE 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not sure if groupchats are included in that number but depending on the groups you're in that could be accumulated in about 10 minutes.

[–] billwashere 3 points 1 week ago

Which is why I avoid group chats….

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

This makes my eye twitchy.

[–] gmtom 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm going to break his record.

And then some guy on YouTube is going to make a video about it called "the quest to beat Matt Turck"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Calling for pepper

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

This guy does anxiety

[–] MediaSensationalism 3 points 1 week ago

I'm sitting at around half that.
