MWI is correct, I think

if many worlds is correct then your conscious experience exists in a superposition of states. What does that mean for your mental perception?
It seems like this almost necessarily implies quantum immortality.

Yes, that's the whole fucking point of the concept. It fucks with identity to assume that you're doing more than one thing in one universe.

Why would it. Why do you assume that there are not infinitely many versions of you created at any given time if you already claim that this many worlds theory is true? Why do you assume that the line you end up with leads to immortality when all the other versions of you could claim the same. You see how little sense this makes. Pop science articles don't replace actual quantum physics text books.

We don't know what it means, but we know what it feels like. It would be even more correct to say that conscious experience requires superposition of states. Perhaps everything that's physically possible already exists in spacetime and we simply make decisions when we are at Mexican hat potential crossroads, giving the illusion of wavefunction collapse and the apparent irreversible loss of information, leading us to think that time is something that passes when the math says time is static or non existant.

It really doesn't. Implications usually have some logic or reasoning behind them, you just pulled wishful thinking out of your posterior.

It doesnt imply quantum immortality any more than it implies waking up as someone else.

If you kill yourself for quantum immortality in a sense you'll wake up as a version of yourself that didnt but more accurately you'll just die and the versions that didnt, will just continue on

If literally everyone reading this comment has had that through at some point in their past, then it stands to reason that we likely do exactly that.

Yes but without memory its meaningless

Its no different if you wake up as someone else when you die or if you are rapidly switching between being the consciousness of each person alive at this moment. The effect is the same: consistent consciousness for the maintained brain function of each individual alive.
So what you really do when you kill yourself is just pollute the timeline with a suicide. You are no more a version of yourself that didnt commit suicide than you are the people who watched you do it or mourn your loss or deal with cleaning your shit up.
