How can we help?

At least to my knowledge, there seems to be no way to disable site notifications.

I like to post answers to KA questions in my free time. The problem is, I get a lot of blue-dot notifications (above my name), because many people reply to me. A large portion of them are disrespectful comments, and the KA mod team seems to be very slow (or even unresponsive) when I flag the comments.

I don't want to go back and delete all my answers, because I know people benefit from them. But having the blue dot constantly on is annoying, because I can't help but want to check what's going on.

Is there a way to disable site notifications?
If not, can we please get an option to disable site notifications altogether?

If you'd like to see this too, please UPVOTE this post so it gains attention.

I can relate. I get many notifications of people adding unhelpful comments to threads I posted in months or years ago. I've been told that KA guardians typically review flags on recent posts within a couple days, but my experience is that it often takes them a week or longer (even when I flagged the post within 12 hours of it being made).

I wish there were a way for me to leave my post in a thread but turn off all notifications from that thread that are not addressing me. (That would probably also need a way for users to tag each other in the Discussion section of the content.)

I have become very discouraged with how difficult and annoying it is to provide help to other users on Khan Academy. I keep thinking it would be logical for Khan Academy to make it easy and rewarding, since they count on other users to answer the Questions people post.
