I actually think this level of control over notifications is a GOOD thing. Trash apps will mix spam and useful notifications without a way to filter out the spam ones. Nextdoor is garbage for a lot of reasons, but granular notifications controls are not one of them. Arguably, defaulting all of them to “On” is scummy, but if they didn’t, most users would probably never know they existed in the first place without UX handholding.

This level of control is only good when you can bulk disable, or its opt-in. When its opt-out with individual clicks, its trash.
