What is your preferred way of receiving notifications from apps? (e.g. email, mobile push notification, telegram, nostr dm,...)?
If urgent (it rarely is), push notification. Otherwise email.
What I really like are summarys.
Since your last visit, you got....
Been liking nostr dm notifications but need to be able to control frequency
Push, allows me to manage specific behaviour and permissions in the OS
Push notifications by far
I'm a pull maximalist for everything other than DM with people I meet regularly IRL (there could be some emergency).
So mail or nostr dm for me...
🎯 Push notifications are primarily focused on getting your attention in real-time, which can snowball quickly to being a big distraction
Allocate dedicated comm time in your life (pull style), and then limit push-comms all the rest of your time to focus on & enjoy who you're with
I don't want to be notified by anything or anyone 😂😂.
Push only if action is required fastly.
Email is good for relevant information
Depends on an app/context, hard to choose one pattern
Trick question! Only without push notifications can the others be considered a "notification" layer

Mobile push, but Nostr DMs would be preferred if they were more verifiably reliable.
