@greggman3 Congratulations on your new Discourse badge "Differentiator" for replying to a feature request with a new feature request. Disclaimer: Not a real badge, and I don't use Discourse. Sounds like the developers are very responsive, and it's probably a good tool, this was just easy and fun.

Is it a new feature request? Seems like it'd fall under the same user story:

As a user, I don't want to be bombarded with distracting emails and notifications every time I join a new board.

What is particularly nice about hacker news is that this comment didn’t actually generate a notification. OP has to actively decide “I want to look at that conversation again”, and then navigate to it.

It’s actually quite nice, I only remembered I posted this comment just now and I came back and saw it had some upvotes and extra comments which was a nice surprise.

I guess that depends on your definition of "responsive". People have requested opting out of badges since discourse shipped 7 years ago.
