For what it's worth they're not trying to hide this change at all and are very upfront about it and made it quite simple to opt out.

They didn't even link the setting in their email. They didn't even name it specifically, just vaguely gestured toward it. Dark patterns, but that's Microslop for ya

I've seen worse dark pattern to be honest... I don't think they're being malicious here.

going to github i was greeted with a banner and a link directly to the settings for changing it
