"Again, Twitter's interface was very intentionally designed to maximize the amount of time per day a person spends online. The Fediverse really doesn't need that, but it has it anyway. That's why I'm proposing that we reevaluate the way we design Fediverse interfaces and clients in light of how we can best strike a balance between creating a positive experience and one that puts the well-being of the person using your product first."

Kind of like how you have unread messages marked? As long as there is a way to clear it, or turn the setting off since I know that I often take long breaks from places and returning to a huge number might make me not want to engage.....which I guess is a good thing? Hmm now I am not sure but do agree this design would be nice generally speaking
