   Mastodon, if you have to do starter packs, *please think about consent* for people being added to starter packs. The bluesky starter packs may be great for new accounts trying to find their people, but it has not necessarily been fun for people who've been added to starter packs without their knowledge. I feel like a couple thousand people looking for a coffee shop have suddenly turned up in my living room.

     Even if everyone is nice, it's a lot to have a couple thousand new followers, especially during a highly emotional time like the US election season. (And yes, it absolutely sucks that's what elections are like for some of us, but given that's the case, having an influx of new followers that is so big I couldn't vet them, look for people I recognize, etc., was not helpful.)
