like either a dumbass posting stupid shit, unfair bans, idiotic arguments, etc etc. i feel so incredibly stupid letting it affect me at all, but then also there's real feelings mixed in there because it's a real argument i give a shit about to some degree. so it's this odd double crossing where i know it's stupid but i process it as being real.

bonus points for not answering 'go outside drink water read a book' etc etc

Turn your notification off and do something else. It could be anything, the better version would be go outside and talk to other people.

However, just watching Youtube video from someone you like, still works. At the end of the day, online argument is not a real argument.

I honestly don't understand why people would ever use push notifications on platforms where they talk to strangers. I like to decide when I'm up for checking that inbox

It's the default, unfortunately. Most if not all Android phones come with Google Service pre-installed and any app can use the notification before Android 13.
