I’m not trying to sound needlessly negative, but I’ve found that it’s also great that they can be turned off. Their utility maybe depends on the types of Communities you hang out in, and I think they’ll be of more value in a few years. Right now, indicating that an account is 1 month old, versus the 3-4 months of most other accounts, is - for me - more of a distraction than anything.

I guess I could see that. There are tons of new accounts while the fediverse is growing.
