It seems that none of the other changes will impact me.......since I am doing exactly what I was before and it is working exactly the same.

BUT....I am now getting a LOT of notifications.
Before I got a notification ONLY for private messages.
Now I get them for post quotes, likes and who knows what else.

I have looked at the "settings" and don't see any place to change this.
Is there one ??
Likely that there IS and I just overlooked it.
