A rudimentary administrative privilege system (read-only, can add, can delete, etc.) would be ideal. Perhaps users could be offered an option to follow the list and another to *follow all users in the list*. + +## Motivation + +From my perspective, lists are the most powerful curatorial tool on the social web. The common obstacle for new Mastodon users in "finding accounts to follow" would be offered a substantial remedy, I believe, in public-facing shared/collaborative user lists. A view showing basic metadata about the list (description, list of collaborators) with its own permalink might offer new users significant context. \ No newline at end of file
