Make weekly diggest email opt-in, instead of opt-out.
I just found out about this project and is really cool!
I signed in and found out the weekly email is "enabled" by default. This behavior is not viewed with good intentions by end-users, specially in the current world of spam everywhere and we just want to have peace of mind and e-mail.
So, please make the diggest email opt-in, that is, it is not enabled by default. It would also be nice to have a description of what it contains.

I understand your hesitations around unsolicited emails.
But at the same time the main link in email points to the blog of the user who wrote the post and not to diff.blog. So diff.blog itself doesn't really generate much traffic from these emails. The emails were designed to promote the independent blogs.
I personally feel like making the email easy to unsubscribe is a good tradeoff.
But I will leave this issue open for more feedback. It will also help me save some AWS money :)
