Hello @Sutapa ,

Check if you got this option enabled on this thread:

If so, that’s why you get notifications from this thread. In that case you might want to change it to “tracking”, etc

Cheers

Note this was originally posted to #News & Announcements by mistake which _everyone_ is subscribed to. So you probably aren’t tracking #Ecosystem Releases even though that’s where the post is now.
