I just discovered this. Knowing that could mute notifications from individual users might have helped dispel a fight on Wikinews six months ago. I felt like people were ringing my doorbell over and over while I was trying to sleep. More people need to know about this feature. I don't know if it does exactly what I hope, but it looks great and my thanks to all the users who worked on it.
Topic on Talk:Notifications
Thank you for your gratitude!
A good way to be aware of these new things is to subscribe to Tech News. Only 7 Wikinews community pages receive this newsletter, I invite you to check if your Wikinews is subscribed. You can also subscribe to Tech News for yourself if not already done.
It would be nice if there was a prominent link from the actual notification to this page, so people know where to go for more information. Not everyone has the time to go through all the technews. Just my $.02
@Ottawahitech, I'm not sure to understand what you mean. Can you rephrase your suggestion?

I would love to, but just finding my way back to your post took way too much effort. Let's face it, these flow discussions do not work. I cannot even indicate who I am replying to, is it Darkfrog24 or to you?
No, Ottawahitech, it's not me. I made the first post in this thread but no others. I keep getting notifications about it (they do not bother me).
@Ottawahitech, this topic is about Notifications, not Flow. If you want to complain about Flow, it is there.
If you have feedback about notifications, and especially how to mute notifications, please share them in this topic.

I tried, but failed. So, since I have your attention here @ Trizek (WMF) I get the distinct impression that wmf is ignoring feedback from us? I have a feeling I can spend my life following links from page to page, but never get a straight answer from anyone. Surely I am not the only one who feels this way?
I say I failed, because I clicked on the link you suggested and found this: "no longer in feature development" - why? There are only two messages in that discusion, the first one is the question that is on the minds of many, posted by User:Martin m159. The 2nd and last message is a post by User:AKlapper (WMF) ithat instead of replying merely links somewhere else.
But worse, THERE ARE NO REPLY BUTTONS anywhere for anyone who wants to participate in that discussion.

UPDATE: I see a different userid now when I look at the same thread: User:Valerio Bozzolan, weird?
First, would it be possible to have this discussion using a different tone. I can understand that you are frustrated and you want to share your frustration, but I invite you to remain civil, and avoid using caps or passive-aggressive wording.
About your impression of the Wikimedia Foundation ignoring feedback, I hope this is not the case. I'm sorry of you have this feeling. I like to get feedback about active projects I work on and the teams I'm helping like feedback too.
Flow/StructuredDiscussions are no longer developed and will be replaced at some point by this new talk pages system.
If you like to reply to a conversation on Flow/StructuredDiscussions that has been resolved, please re-open it. You can re-open a Topic anytime, by clicking on the Topic's menu (three dots icon).
This said, I'd like to keep things in topic here. So I won't reply to comments about Flow/StructuredDiscussions anymore in this current topic; please post at the appropriate venues.
Thank you for your understanding.
I have attempted to respond, again. This time on your talk-page.
