Description

I'm frustrated every few days when I open a useless notification from the communitynotes system.

X should un-send notifications from the communitynotes system once no action is needed:

  1. The user has already voted on the note. (Admittedly, re-opening it is user error; an alternative solution for this sub-issue would be to make it easier to differentiate read from unread notifications.)
  2. The relevant tweet has been deleted or hidden.

Research direction

Start by tracing how communitynotes notifications are generated and how voted notes and deleted or hidden tweets are represented. Confirm the expected behavior for both cases, then add coverage and verify that notifications are removed when no action remains.
