Someone recently posed a challenge to me of removing notifications all together. They are fed up with notification abuse on mainstream platforms.
It's an interesting challenge. It would be so nice to delete the notification bell all together and not replace it with anything.
It gave me some interesting ideas, but pulling it off is no small task.
I like notifications, I use SN in browser, occasionally on the phone and I don't have any issues with intrusive notifications

I'm with you. I like the little endorphin rush from seeing the red square.

I agree, I've learned to not mind them either.
But when this person posed this to me, I felt like I was defending riding around in a horse and buggy when they wanted an automobile.

I feel like this is related to this "zero inbox approach": If notifications are just items that show up in the same feed as posts, you could just mark them as read like posts by swiping. Like in inboxes.
btw, some kind of "mark as read" feature would also be useful for push notifications. Currently, there is no connection between the notification bell icon and push notifications. The bell doesn't know that you've already read the notification on your phone.

Yes I agree! I was too lazy to find that post but it also made me think of that.

If we know when you click on a notification and it's your only one perhaps we can update your
lastCheckedAt field.reply
