   looking at push notifications in mastodon (https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/433), what does that actually mean? What's different between 'push notifications' with android and pushing things through a websocket connections?

      @lain say goodbye to your battery life, that's what the "issue" should read. Not even joking, that thing will make every single client burn through at least double the battery of a constant stream of data using the GPF protocol.
      There is a reason if people use Firebase and GPF for stuff as simple as text chats and it's not because websockets are hard, but because Google pays good money to ISPs and real engineers to have working lightweight, long lasting and efficient connection protocols.
