[Python-Dev] Re: Can I ask a real dumb procedural question about GitHub email?
Every day, I unsubscribe from many issues and pull requests to reduce the number of emails to move it below my acceptable threshold. For example, for me, 20 new discussions per day is acceptable, whereas 100 is not. I prefer to focus on small number of things and follow them closely.

I actively visit the GitHub Notification page when I want to see what’s on on GitHub. Ditto for Discourse. This makes my life a lot easier, and I receive fewer pings. (Those two are actually the same; it’s just different wordings.) I don’t need more pings; I need a convenient UI that shows me what I want, when I want it. Another really nice thing with this is that the notifications are _grouped_, both in the GitHub UI and the Discourse UI. I see one blue dot for each PR or each thread. I know you get threads in email clients as well, but I prefer the web UIs.

My observation is that, over time, all sources of email strive to enlist the aid of every electron in the universe to transform all of creation into more copies of its output, directed to my gmail account. I gave up. These days, if Google doesn't put something in the "priority" section of my gmail inbox, chances are the only thing I'll see of it is a fraction-of-a-second glance at the subject line as I check the "select all" box, on page after page, before deleting it. That gets done every day almost as often as clicking on "report spam and unsubscribe". I fondly remember the days when email volume was merely unbearable ;-) ___ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/FE7522WPE6Q3W55KNNFLVZXR6G3CWCNH/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
