    a fucking chat on fucking reddit are you kidding me what?

    RIGHT? AND, AND! It’s a chat where you can’t get rid of the bright flaming red notification until you make the neigh-irreversible decision to either shun a person forever or reply to them.

        I logged onto Reddit once sometime after the chat was rolled out, it was some random person trying to contact me which I had no idea for months because I was using a 3rd party app. I put in my profile to message me instead of Chat, then promptly disabled the chat feature on my profile.

      You don’t have to reply to make the notification go away. I’m pretty sure you don’t even need to interact with the request.

        Oh, but you do! I’m one of those autistic people who can’t fucking stand flaming red notification icons and have to make them go away.

        There’s no way to turn off the notification without either clicking “Ignore” or “Reply” (maybe it’s “Accept”). It doesn’t go away just from reading the message. I even tried to disable the element in my browser, which worked, but then it disabled the normal notification icon too.
