While it might not be the only reason for wanting to unfollow your own obs (or any obs for that matter) I think the main reason for unfollowing is because of notifications we don’t find relevant to us. Such as refined IDs (subspp) or IDs to higher levels (that aren’t explicit disagreements). Also ppl favouriting, adding annotation values, field entries, tags. In other words, it ties into the need for a better notification system, and hopefully the new system will give us more control over our notifications. https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/notifications-on-inaturalist-please-share-your-ideas/374
