@cuchaz surely “opt-in by default” just means opt-out?

@tellyworth Whoops, yeah. I could have probably written that better. Words are hard.

@tellyworth @cuchaz Yeah, the phrasing “opt-in by default” is the opposite of what the author means. "opt-in" means it arrives turned off.

This setting is "opt-out" or "on by default."

@toddz @tellyworth Yeah, my bad. I tried to fix the wording with an edit. =)
