**QT Notifcation Flood Conundrum** @dirty_biker beat me to the punch sharing his thoughts. I'd been preparing mine at the same time, which I have adapted and will still share. And the irony (perhaps some would say hypocrisy) is not lost on me. https://budgetpixel.com/blog/qt-notification-flood-conundrum Dirty_Biker's Blog: https://budgetpixel.com/blog/the-dark-side-of-the-qt

Thanks for all your thoughts Cayla. --- I posted one with athe full QT list and one without this morning and sit at 31/50. Guess I won't make it today. Even if I posted another there chances are I will be sleeping if I reach the reward level and the rest is at 2am for me. I think your time zone can make a difference. --- I actually suggested to King that people only be able to publish 1 blog post per day, or better only 1 or maybe 2 in the Recent list. I think some folk produce blogs just for the credits, and am worried that this farming of credits will eventually lead to the reward levels being even higher. And the number of people who only add 1 clap, is an issue for me. My blog was well viewed (and thanks for your 20) but not yet broken 300 due to all the single clapp clappers.

on the main QT list, having peple limit to one QT a day would help. Some people do a dozen for their posts and then another dozen for their blogs they put up that day. Well maybe not that much but it feels like it. On the blog posts, they were filling up the recent feed so Sealine asked King to limit the number people would appear on the recent so now a name will only show 2x in 8 which means the heavy posters still dominate half, but now you can see others. I think a similar way to get the same effect for mentions is to allow us to categorize follows as "close friends", "acquaintances" and "strangers" or soemthing like that. The thing is BP wasn't built to be a social platform and it has become one.

I think that's true. However on my commetns where it's 1-2 letters, 90% of those commenters have no images on their Mypage or they only show a strange selection of uploads that are photos and memes that you might have seen i n the old days of FB and Twitter. Someone pointed out to me they may not show their images because they are doing Mature images . I also think therea re some people who do work using BP. I wonder what they they make. I think those working group is a target audience for AI places like NC and BP; while the public people are the publicity drivers.

my experiment with the 2 smaller QT is going better so now I only have to do 1 main QT every other day. I think the trick actually is if you are doing smaller invite of 5 peole only QT or so, you have to invite people who are not on the main list becasue those people won't be able to see your invite.

Haha yeah but it's become a social platform. (And honestly, the social part drives the image generation part for many of us. If not for that, we'd still be making private images for ourselves and that would largely be the extent of it!)

Not really a QT, and if you'd prefer to stop receiving notifications from me please let me know. @antares @aqualemonade @archangeltara @base451121 @beastsg @Belinda @bic_revelation @Biscuit @bleepunc @CaylaCatz @charlypalermo @Cheinia @ChildNerd @chris70 @Colossus @DavidP @dirty_biker @dovonko @elkanthe @elysian @EternaSky @faerierealm @fantasydesignink @germancowboy @gman @gummiefish @Hephzibah @Hiths @humtum8182 @IndoAIArtist @justrob @jmn @King @kirito @legion @mim86 @nametaker @NickWolf @NielsCarlsen @notyourcleo @PabloArtStation @panos @paulie @pocahontas @Sealine @SkarletFever @sonny001 @southamericanmyth @sr92 @standartis @strixowl-47 @suga2309 @TheBard @thedreamcatcher @To4kawa @TTRPG_Player @To4kawa @Troxley @underman @Unleashed @vrieming @winter_witch @yzsy

Yeah perhaps there should be a limit for all posters!
@CaylaCatz · May 29, 2026
yeah, but i think due to my insomnia, my time is closer to european. i've gone to bed and woken up and it was too late. I think what helps me is I don't work so I can check on it and make something when others might have more time limiations. However, I think I may need to self limit my time. I do spend too much time on this. I'm at 34/50. Nice thing about less comments is I feel like I can do a little catching up
