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.
I’m not the person you asked, but no. It’s a bug. I experience the same. I only get reply notifications if somebody uses @.
Weird! I get notifications on mobile (the web app) and on the full browser (attached).
Sorry that you guys have problems … maybe try turning the notifications off and back on? I know I had initially changed them a few times, so maybe that was needed and I just never noticed any issues while KBin was less busy.
