find yourself suffering from Hive stress?
https://creator.nightcafe.studio/creation/APY1L8kHNpewBzE03Eze
So many people whom you really like are posting so many posts that you want to read and give a good answer to? So many contests to join - write a story about this, cook something with that ingredient, take a photo of that, write a story about this too, do something fun during the weekend, take good walk in an interesting place, and post something about a game you play... And while you take a minute to write more than a copy-paste reply, the notifications keep piling up.
I'm definitely suffering from Hive stress. I see new and interesting contests to take part in, and save the post in a tab for later, I see someone asking a question, and I want to answer it as soon as I've looked things up... but I never get around to it. This morning I deleted 28 tabs from my browser, because there was no point replying any more. Expired! And yet I take the time off to write a post about it, instead of spending my time catching up - while I'm already two days behind. And half an hour trying to create an image to top the post. Sorry all you purists - I had to use AI, because I'm not an artist.
What's my aim, my goal, in writing this post? I don't know. I just felt like expressing myself on this topic. Even though it leaves me less time to catch up with my 453 unread notifications. 300 or so being duplicates... "NN posted a new post, NN mentioned you in their post." One notification is enough please. "NN replied to your post, NN mentioned you in their reply to your post." Same there.
@ecency is doing a good thing, letting me view only unread. It would be even better if I could view only upvotes (I can) and mark all those upvotes as read (I can't, clicking mark as read marks every notification of every kind as read... )
I can't even think of something to add for the tenth tag. That's how out of it I am.
