I kinda like the way things shook out on amethyst. It's kinda the same behavior as Primal, but Pokey acts like Damus.

Then if I get caught in a hellthread I don't want to be in, it doesn't clog up the notifications pane.

Rather than add notifications to Amethyst, I'd rather make a light kind 1 client with the best of both worlds. Amethyst is pretty bloated already.
