i get emails when new posts / threads are made

i could disable them tbh but i like it because even tho the notifications on my phone go off all day, it lets me gauge website activity without even thinking about it

so
yeah i kinda know when it’s “normal” or slow or not

in defense of your point to be honest – and this is flipped from the normal circumstances, since covid nonsense, weekends are actually slightly less active than most weekdays now – which is odd
