<![CDATA[Mastodon image feature request: expose settings for reserved usernames in config.sh]]>In a non-Docker installation it is apparently found under

config/settings.yml

and should look like this:

reserved_usernames:
  - admin
  - support
  - help
  - root
  - webmaster
  - administrator
  - mod
  - moderator

It would be good if admins were able to control this list.

If that´s the case, we will be patient and wait for it to find its way upstream.

Generally we have decided to use the .env configuration for the instance, as that is the documented way, compared to using .yml

I also wonder if this is just not implemented upstream yet, but according to https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/blob/main/config/settings.yml#L1 the admin UI should eventually have that setting exposed.
