Does anyone else hate that Facebook sends you notifications for random shit like new posts in a group you are in or people inviting you to like their stupid business page with absolutely no way to disable it?

The most you can do is request to “only receive notifications about posts from people you are friends with” bur you can’t fully disable them.

Ditto on Instagram’s intrusive and persistent banner notifications telling you someone is going live. No one fucking wants those.

The only notifications I want are likes/comments on posts I made or participated in or those friend requests. Everything else is fucking spam and honestly with all of the heat on Facebook I’m surprised they aren’t being more mindful of providing a better user experience with the looming threat of anti trust violations. They need their loyal user base more than ever. Perhaps instead of devoting all of their energy to censoring everyone’s posts and issuing suspensions over absolute bullshit they should be channeling those resources into their dated platform and clunky user interface.
