Why profiles are not featured in discovery by default?
Why profiles are not featured in discovery by default?
I recently discovered that the "Feature profile and posts in discovery algorithms" checkbox in the account settings is disabled by default. I didn't even know this option existed.
I'm curious why it's disabled by default. I think most users would want to be featured.

I think user should be directly asked about it. Having it in settings will be confused for newcomers: they register on Mastodon, see zero activity and think that it's a dead place.
