Less dopamine dispensers

decided to turn off notifications for favorites and boosts so if i get a banger i might never notice
So yeah, I have turned off those kinds of notifications: Boosts, favorites, etc.
I’ve written quite a bit of posts that can get quite a bit of interactions. Sometimes, a lot of interactions.
The reasoning for this was probably because of someone who now follows me. They favorite toots a lot. This creates a lot of notifications.
The cycle of creating a post and expecting an interaction is really getting me, so I’ve decided to run away from it for a bit.
I’ve also disabled autoplaying GIFs. This should make it less interesting/eye catching since even my own profile picture is a GIF (it’s a clock)
Also, this was a bit inspired by the Gemini project FAQ which was updated like yesterday.
It’s at gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/faq.gmi (I can’t make it a link because for some reason it refuses to, even though it’s a URL)
At sourcehut, it’s quite boring. There’s no “stars” or “badges” or whatever the crap GitHub (Microsoft) is trying to sell these days.
I have also only sometimes touched the web interface of sourcehut, only needing to use hut builds show -f $build_id to check when a build for my main website (at https://jacksonchen666.com) has finished.
It also seems like Drew is actively refusing implementing the “social” aspects into sourcehut, and he has refused so many things that has to do with “Dopamine dispensers”.
