@golf_oil @kensanata I had the same feeling a few times using the vanilla #Mastodon UI. It reminds me of the feeling I used to have when I logged into my email, when I used to be on some mailing lists with some people prone to meltdowns. Judicious use of 'mute conversation', 'mute', and 'block' helps, and it's great those tools exist, but for me it helps more to be able to choose when I look at notifications, and not have them always in my face.
