   Ugh, just saw the new #wrapstodon feature that adds a “Year in Review” to Mastodon – it’s up on mastodon.social already, and will be part of v4.4.0.

   It’s super number-go-up brain: You’re part of the top x % of Mastodon users! You had so many new followers and posts!

   Plus a super cringe and unnecessary “We won’t tell Bernie” message under the top-% stat. Jfc.

   I opened an issue asking to let server administrators turn this off before it even starts: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/33150

     As pointed out by @lutoma (thanks!) it seems like they removed the code that auto-generates these reports, and instead instance administrators have to generate them manually (as per the kinda hidden, collapsed conversation in https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/28693/files#r1450641772)

     I’ll leave the issue open as a documentation request, as there is no information on any of this unless you watch the PRs and read the source code, and also as a request to make the feature more flexible (or at least remove the cringe.)
