Why is my avatar blinking with orbital bubbles? I can’t make it go. I tried dismissing all notifications, it’s sticking there and making me crazy. Please remove this!
I don’t seem to have access to any meaningful chat channel either.

The orbitals went away. Can someone please explain?

That’s probably related to this: Discourse Rewind 2024

It happened with Discourse Rewind 2024. It should disappear once you visited it.

Yeah was too bad it disappeared. Kind of liked the visual effect over the simple dot/icon showing a notification.

It shows when you have not visited the Rewind page. I struggled to get rid of it as well, and once I did visit “Rewind” (which I love BTW) I can’t find a way to get the link or the effect back.

Yeah for some reason you have to refresh the page to get rid of it. @jordan-vidrine built it so he can probably comment more.

Be great to have a Theme component to add the effects as alternative notifications.

This animation is very troubling. Thank you all who responded. Indeed @HAWK, this is when I opened an internal link into a new tab that I noticed the animation had disappeared. I reloaded the original tab and it went away. It’s not so good for epilepsy and other troubles related to stress.
WRT the Discourse Rewind, it looks nice and is quite funny, but somehow found that ai is an interesting tag for me: maybe because I tried to mute all AI things? – I think I muted that tag anyway.
