That's a good one - a specific time and place and also makes a cultural splash

I don't think it's "automatically means" more like, a red dot out of context is likely to mean/communicate an "error", and certainly there are many specific contexts where it does (again, e.g. status blogs)

What I’m pushing back on is assuming that a red dot automatically means error or warning. That’s flat out wrong.

to your point about "signaling and asking me implicitly to contact them" — I would agree a green dot next to or on top of your icon/photo would signal that. hence context matters

I think that' ("on a blog") is a methodologically erroneous way of reasoning about this particular UI problem, since we've already noted content context is critical
