for about 1 week or a little longer i was getting a pop-up asking if i wanted to receive notifications from this site. ive denied all of them like i do with all sites that ask that before i can proceed to read articles. So glad i didnt accept the request. Must be a hack thats gotten through undetected. This was a consistent pop-up just for a short time, though. Had not happened ever before a feww weeks ago and just now thinking about it, it's not happened for several days now. I keep this site in a quick access on a screen in my phone. That would be annoying to be receiving.

Thanks, Lesly. I don't remember clicking anything that would result in that, but it certainly can't hurt to see what's in my Settings here ... that is, if I can find them.

On the other hand, these all appear to be spam messages, and (as far as I know) don't appear in my feed here, just in my Notifications.

How can I stop this from happening? I actually do have adBlock Plus and uBlock Origin, so I never actually see these as posts, but they still appear in my Mac's Notifications.

Howzabout nuking the account that posts these?

I just tried the Help link. I can't say it was very helpful. See for yourself:
