User blog comment:BertH/Introducing Announcements, a new way to notify your community/@comment-26084508-20180718073322/@comment-26143371-20180719200456

I second having some opt-in/out mechanism. The use case I'm seeing here would be CC itself. I generally around here for the technical updates and news blog posts, but I'm editing only very irregularly. It might easily be that I haven't been doing anything in the past 90 days that would qualify me as having contributed.

But still I'd like to be notified of important changes or new features as I generally like to know these things. As it stands now, the new notification system would either not reach me or force me to do some useless whitespace edit to my userpage or similar every once in a while.

Having an opt-in that makes sure I receive all notifications from CC would be very useful in this case.
