This new update is bothering me

Hi

So having the option to “hide” as you called it notifications was really helpful but now I can’t get rid of them. They just sit there and I get several notifications a day. Some I click on but the READ option doesn’t leave and the ones that I don’t really want to look at just sit there wanting to be read. It rather annoying to be honest. I also don’t like looking at notifications from people who have attacked and harassed me, replying to my comment with spiteful replies and hate. Like why am I forced to be reminded of that? Like ok here’s your daily dose of shame just in case you forgot about it in the last hour.
