Anxious about App Notifications

TW The notifications I get from this app make me more anxious than I already am. Probably a selfish take, but isn’t this supposed to be a safe space? Why do notifications have to include the post descriptions? Sometimes they mention things like self-harm or health-related ailments. These are things that can really trigger people and it’s not helpful in forming a supportive community. I might delete the app unfortunately. Anybody have any comments or similar experiences?

      I would suggest turning off notifications altogether. You can go to the "You" tab, then scroll to the bottom to settings and toggle off push notifications. Hope that helps!

      They really do send a ridiculous amount of notifications. But I love the community here, the ability to connect with others who are struggling with the same topics and the anonymity so I stay lol.

      This app needs a word filter badly

      I feel kind of similar tbh…. It’s not like I don’t want people to post those things. Of course they should. But never knowing what my notifications might show me is super not helpful when I already can’t process the bad things in my life, the people around me’s lives, and the country/world. It’s not really a great feature.

        @aldrwytch yes! This is exactly the problem! I want to read some of the posts but I keep finding that I’m being notified of some rather intense ones. I wish there was something implemented that suppressed notifications including trigger words. That would be super helpful on an app like this!
