As we start to see more users join, it’s inevitable to see trolls (especially low-effort trolls) making more of an appearance and trying to be controversial and noticed.
Best just to scroll past them. They want to spark unwinnable arguments and rack up negative rep. If something seems absurdly ridiculous or inciteful, just move on. It’s not even worth down voting.
It seems like it’s something in the process of getting fixed, since I stopped seeing notifications for a few hours today. On mobile, I usually see notifications in the menu bar at the top next to my user name when new ones come in.
You might want to check your settings to see if you have notifications turned on.
