    I trashed the whole ~/Library/Containers/Mattermost directory: no difference.

    I don't think it's Mattermost itself that's not working, because both the phone and browser-based versions are able to generate notifications, or at least the browser version can successfully get the browser to show a desktop notification.

    Any suggestions?

    There is also System Settings -> Notifications -> Application
    Notifications to check.

    Sorry, I meant System Settings > Notifications > Mattermost.

    I notice that in the list of applications, there's one with a Safari icon apparently called:

    ask you

    Confirm that you’re not a robot, you need click Allow



    (Its name includes that extra carriage return, too.)

    Looking good, Apple!

    Notifications will split out a website that you've allowed notifications
    on to a line of its own with a Safari icon. I have one for
    support.apple.com, for example, separate from Safari itself. It looks
    like https://imgur.com/a/46UPy0i

    So odds are high that what's happened there is you've pressed a
    mislabelled button on a nefarious site that has enabled notifications
    for itself with a fake "Are you a robot?" panel. Probably gives it some
    sort of tracking access like a cookie would.

    Cheers - Jaimie
