A few months ago, @grayruby posted SN and the Zen of 1 sat = 1 sat. Since then, the top of my SN page has read "1 sat = 1 sat". It is quite peaceful.
While setting up random zaps, I stumbled across another setting that's been giving me a similar sense of peace. I disabled being notified when I receive zaps. After all, I keep insisting that I'm not here for the sats, but rather for the community, so why do I need to see how much and how often people are zapping me. It's much less clutter in the notifications feed and everything in there is now something to potentially respond to.
Give it a whirl.
I like that. I mean, the dopamine rush of notifications is great, but honestly, it's interaction that really triggers that feeling. Zaps are nice, but usually in aggregate, not individually. Going to change that setting right now.
I think you'll find that each notification is a bigger dopamine hit now, because they're almost all interactions worth responding to.
I didn't even know that was an option. I will give it a try. As long as I still get notified for comments and posts.
I think you'll like it. I'm only a couple of days in and it's still a little odd.
Gave you an extra random zap since the first one sucked. Haha
Thanks, I've roughly broken even on your Random Zap Game, now.
The bell icon with the red cherry on it is just too addictive!

I still get notified when people reply to me.
I post my objection here. Everyone should get notified for my 11 Sats. Haha..
It's a good addition! I also wanna play with it. How did you stop the top banner at 1 sat = 1 Sat? I use a mobile. Can I stop it there as well. It seems changing forever here.
Are you using the mobile app or the PWA? Mine doesn't rotate through and I'm just using the PWA.
I'm using it on a browser.
Ido t know what's PWA?
I think that's probably what you're using. It stands for "progressive web app" and as far as I know that's how it works on mobile browsers.
Ahh! Gotcha! Thanks!
I am also going to disable notifications. I like your thought.
Good idea. I watched Breedlove the other day with Moss talking about social media and dopamine. I need some peace.
You probably need some serotonin instead of dopamine.
It's a nice hit, but probably not the healthiest thing to be chasing.
I will have to try this.
But it is nice to see what gains traction at times, or you might be flying blind.
Do you want traction in sats or traction in conversation? Plus, you can always check if you're curious.
Traction in conversation, of course.
That is what is important, you have probably noticed.
I am open to all opinions.
I have and I suspect you get plenty of notifications even without zap notifications.
Right, you dont really need them.
But usually it is a precursor to how the conversation is going.
I have noticed some people like to zap after a conversation is done.
Others like to zap while they are conversing.
Its an interesting mix.
I enjoy keeping this option active to catch sat farmers.
How does that work?
It's a bit of a long shot, but we might be able to figure out who's never zapped in some cases.
In comment replies, you mean? That makes sense. Some people are just kind of shitty, though, and now that's not going to bother me as much.

You can also find them in posts. Just remember that notifications are listed in chronological order.
Good idea! Disabled my notification too.
Someday I will grow Zen enough to disable the notification about the daily airdrop
Something to aspire to. I'm not there yet either.
You are the first Stacker who zapped me and I didn’t know it (until I checked).
Woah it does make my feed less cluttered. ✅
Great idea! It's like a "focused" mode
Yes! I forgot to mention that, but it does reduce needless distraction.
It sounds a great idea. I should absolutely give it a try!

Don't you still see your hat? I don't care what other people see.
I don't see any hat.
I've been misled, then. Still, the hat causes me zero loss of peace. It's just for fun.
