That's very interesting. I think we could go this route but there are a few things that need to be sorted out: - the old FMN is still running, so we'll need to wait until we turn it off so that people don't get double notifications - we could add a default rule such as "my actions" for new users, but users are only registering their email at account creation time, FMN won't know about Matrix or IRC at that point - what about users who add a matrix / irc address later? Should it update the default rule? But only for users who recently created an account? - some important apps are not using FMN, such as Bohdi, and external applications. I'm afraid we may spam new users with duplicate notifications that they do not expect. - the FMN notifications are still a bit rough around the edges, I'd be more confident if we let the dust settle a little bit, and we sanitized duplicates and incomplete messages before we enable it for new users by default All this should be discussed in a ticket, do you mind opening one with your proposal here [1] ?

We aim to shutdown the old FMN after F39.
