“new” == ~3 years old (but looking to move from alpha to beta in 2024 IIRC). It’s a good server!
Built and using it - lots of fun. https://dev.to/andypiper/getting-arty-with-a-pi-3dk9
I think forcing all posts to be opted-in to the search, and depending on users to opt-out, would be far more controversial? Either way, the user does get to control this within the platform.

As of recently, I am officially helping Mastodon with developer relations and documentation! I also do some promotion / writing and speaking, and other work with the MicroPython project - and the Awesome MicroPython list. Beyond that, I offer a bunch of drive-by pull requests to smaller projects that I use, when I can!
I’m a supporting member of the EFF, PSF, and OSI (I ran the OSI booth at State of Open this year), and I am an ambassador for OpenUK
Thank you for OctoPrint! I love it!
