Here we go again with the Mastodon® software demanding #OptIn 🤦🏽

Some friendly reminders:

1. They are mostly from the Twitter Migration 2.0 batch.

2. They are Mastodon® software users.

3. They are a minority even within the Mastodon® software community.

4. Even more so a minority if we count the rest of the Fediverse social network.

Nothing wrong with it. However, this feature should be implemented in the software they are using not demanding other software to implement it for them.

They don't want to be discovered? Then turn-off discoverability on their account. If their software doesn't support, go file a suggestion on their software's repo.

Permissions are set on your account which means software support. You don't force it on others.

Look at Hubzilla and Streams, it has the most extensive permissions in the entire [Open] Social Web. They did it right.

The burden is on the software you are using. If it s*cks, then move elsewhere, Mastodon® is not the only microblogging/macroblogging/status updates Fediverse software available.
