Starter packs that don't include their creator

[mdruker]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

There are use cases where someone is well positioned to curate a topical starter pack, but including themselves would be inaccurate or awkward. E.g. a starter pack of local government accounts, or even of good accounts to follow.

Describe the solution you'd like

It should be possible to remove yourself from your own starter pack, or better yet, not include yourself by default.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context

Starter packs have proven to be a very useful mechanism to enable migration to this platform and establishing community, so making that work even better could help with growth.

I just created my first starter pack containing JavaScript Tools/Libraries/Runtimes, and noticed that I can't remove myself.

I would love to have an option for author to remove themselves from starter packs

I had the same problem. Wanted to do a starter pack of French politicians, but I'm not one myself 😅

Boosting this. I want to create a starterpack to help people follow the Colorado Avalanche (which is one of my two big uses for bluesky), but I am a biologist and only make public-facing posts about science and academia.
