Curious: how do you feel about twitter likes and retweet notifications?
Good question.
I enjoy when someone replies to my commentary or shares it with their friends/followers (i.e retweet). "Likes" are a small endorphine kick, but not as strong as a reply/retweet.
I dislike it when Twitter's notification system notifies me of a trending article; the content is generally irrelevant to me and is a major let-down (since I am expecting the notification to be someone replying/retweeting to my message).

RE likes: you don't get the same dopamine hit on SN or it's less distracting on Twitter?

9 times out of 10, Twitters notification is due to someone replying/retweeting my post (which is good)
9 times out of 10, Stacker News notification is about a daily stacked sat (which isnt bad, but not as good as a SN comment/reply).
When I see SN notifications, I automatically dismiss them as part of a daily-stack and am less enthusiastic about checking my notifications. Whereas with Twitter, the notification is more rare & surprising (which leads to an unexpected but welcomed endorphine kick)

This is very helpful thank you jp!
If 9 times of 10, it's the daily stacking, that would mean you have 1 reply every 10 days. I can see how that'd be annoying. I'll try to figure out some solution to this.

Sounds good - no need to completely change the platform just from my opinion but it's worth exploring to see how this subtle change may alter the community's behavior
