I think notifications are a bit spammy right now. The answers to answers don't really increase my engagement since this is not a mobile app I don't get push notifications - and if SN was a mobile app and I would get notifications for answers to answers I would turn these notifications off.
Users seemed to want replies to replies before. We should maybe allow users to configure what they get notified about.

Yeah, the "settings" page is still a little empty.

Would you rather not see replies to replies or be able to mute certain threads?

I would rather have the option to disable replies to replies in my notifications in the settings.
Muting threads feels to me more like a feature in the blocking users/muting threads/ muting users etc. category. That's a whole other thing that probably needs more thought put into it (what should the side have, how should it be implemented etc.) Probably for another day!
