"We are planning to publish a feature explainer detailing our decisions (for example, how to let users control if they want to be included in a Starter Pack) in the coming weeks ..."

-- and really glad to hear you're thinking about that! Bluesky's failure to provide that control has really been a problem.

FYI @onepict -- Mastodon thinking about consent, gotta like that!

@MastodonEngineering

I really do like that.

Everyone on here does have different requirements as Mike observed with his experience in this thread. But as you pointed out one size doesn't fit all. It's a good thing to have these conversations in the open. Partly to normalise having them.

We can't know of the experience of folks on networks and it's always best to let them choose.

It's great that Mastodon is thinking about consent.

are the posts in the RSS feed for the Mastodon blog truncated on purpose?

@jonathan @MastodonEngineering no, that’s not on purpose. I’ll take a look into this this tomorrow. I assume it’s a Hugo setting that’s not set correctly at the moment. Thanks for letting us know.
