I saw that there is a PR to merge Discourse Rewind into the core.
And on the one hand, I really like that. I like the conversations it sparks when you talk about being best friends with someone or when you compare your most-used reactions. And I like the idea of celebrating a great year.
But on the other hand, I wish to opt out of the Rewind on Meta since I saw that it’s coming back. I didn’t like last year’s activity overview because, for me, it highlighted when I struggled being here more than celebrating the days I was most active. Those gaps were much more prominent, and I know it’s going to be much worse this year.
So I would appreciate an option in my preferences to say “no, thank you” instead of an animation at my avatar urging me to take a look. I like that others enjoy it, but I would prefer to quietly opt out - at least on the site where I feel that way.

the fact that rowling was added as a readability score is horrendous and downright offensive. and if you don’t know why, you aren’t paying attention.

ok the book has been changed and you will be able to disable it in a dedicated tab:
