Toot!.app ↙︎↙︎↙︎One thing that many people have requested is notification icon badges for Toot!. The main reason they have not been implemented is that I've always found the use of notification badges a very toxic pattern to drive addictive behaviour on social media apps, always trying to nudge you back to opening the app.
I was thinking, though, that this mainly applies to things like favourites and other things that you don't REALLY need to know right now. So I was thinking enabling them for mentions only (and maybe some other things that require immediate attention like admin report notifications) might make sense. What do you think?
No! Boo to badges!
I guess just mentions is fine?
I want badges ALL THE TIME for EVERYTHING
I just like answering polls

@tootapp On the one hand, mentions are really the only thing I want notification badge for. I use badge numbers as an indication of “Here’s something that requires your attention” and likes and boosts are not something that requires my attention.
On the other hand I feel like it would be presumptuous of me to be like “I only care about mentions so anyone who wants something other than that is wrong”. So my preferred choice would be to allow people to choose what they want on the badge in the same way they can choose which notifications they want and just have them all off by default.
