I dont find them as distracting. I think I am good at context switching. They only become an annoyance if you were following a thread and people are discussing in it with you nothing to add, in which case I unfollow it.

I even find them sometimes helpful, they provide short breaks.

If I want to focus hard on something I can just ignore them to check later

When I was younger Constant context switching kept me productive all day long. Eventually was diagnosed as ADHD. Apparently keeping half a dozen things going at once was my coping method.

First time on medication was surreal oh how I just worked on one thing at a time.
