Wonderful and appreciated!

Agree. When I started on bluesky, the starter packs were helpful to find people. Keep in mind, bluesky has a lot more public users. For example, reporters & publications. The user base here is smaller and spread across instances. This feature makes sense for public type of profiles - like reporters. But for individuals like me, it makes no sense to put them in a collection. However, bsky has lists so you don't have to follow every account. So much easier.

My one request is to keep my profile out of a collection - full stop. I do not want anyone to be able to add me. It is private for a reason. Bluesky does not have private profiles and being added to a collection or 'starter pack' there is a nightmare. My profile is set to approve followers and I do not want to have to deal with unwanted requests because I was added to a collection. Thanks!

This appears to have been considered, but I want to see it clearly in my settings.
