Comment:

 I think this is an interesting idea, but the solution suggested is too
 narrow, IMO. Social media sites provide the option to refine in more
 details the notifications one can get, not only related to private
 messages.

 In an app like Instagram, for example, I can pause all notifications,
 messages, calls, posts, etc. With the suggested approach, we would need to
 bundle similar settings for new requests.

 Also, the suggested approach doesn't take into the user's choice. The
 site's owner is deciding for me. There should be an option around here:
