I agree with Matt and Oliver as well.
I don't think we can avoid giving people individual control of which
notifications they receive.
But I definitely think that adding a dismiss option in the flyout is an
effective way to give people that control, so they don't have to go to
the preferences page if they don't want to.
I agree. Not just, "dismiss this one", but "Don't show this type of
notification again" right on the notification itself (not necessarily
those phrasings).
But this discussion is touching upon the central
challenge for this
product: how to make sure that we inform people without spamming them.
Right, this is critical, and the balance is different for each person
(hence sane defaults with configurability).
