ActivityPub Starter Kits will work a bit differently than BlueSkys.
When you create a Starter Kit, it remains in a pending state until at least 1 account has approved their inclusion.
Our Kits are Opt-In, and not just with the `Discoverable` or `Indexable` AP attributes, we will send you a DM to approve each list inclusion, or you can opt to auto-approve all if you desire.
This is the way.
(also will be open source and easily self-hostable)

But wait, there is one more thing.
Starter Kits will be ActivityPub objects, and offer an API to allow other Starter Kit servers to discover each other and share their public lists.
We will have a searchable database of public kits, and track views and installs/uses.
Let's goooooo 🚀

@elduvelle the whole thing is a new thing, and private/unlisted Kits are just a visibility preference to allow people to create lists that only they can share.
What is the big deal?

@dansup why can't we just have public lists, why does it have to be a new thing?

@dansup This is a big news! Any idea of the release cycle?

@dansup I can't believe I haven't seen any negative replies in here for such a bad idea. This is going to be a largely useless feature if everyone has to approve their inclusion by default. I honestly mean this as constructive:
I think at the very least the default setting should be to auto approve, which you can opt out of, for the very reason that the same people who wouldn't take the time opt-out of auto approving probably won't take the time to approve themselves to be added to a list.
