This very unfortunate line is the reason

config/initializers/100-push-notifications.rb

2596ab1d4


      
              SiteSetting.vapid_public_key = vapid_key.public_key
              SiteSetting.vapid_private_key = vapid_key.private_key
          
              SiteSetting.vapid_public_key_bytes =
                Base64.urlsafe_decode64(SiteSetting.vapid_public_key).bytes.join("|")
              SiteSetting.vapid_base_url = Discourse.base_url
          
              PushSubscription.delete_all if ActiveRecord::Base.connection.table_exists?(:push_subscriptions)
            end
          
            DiscourseEvent.on(:user_logged_out) { |user| PushNotificationPusher.clear_subscriptions(user) }
          end

It makes no sense IMO.
