Overview
This node interacts with the Mastodon API to manage featured tags on a Mastodon instance. Specifically, the "Unfeature Tag" operation under the "Featured Tags" resource allows users to remove a tag from the list of featured tags on their Mastodon server.
Common scenarios for this node include:
- Moderators or administrators managing the visibility of tags by removing outdated or irrelevant featured tags.
- Automating cleanup of featured tags based on certain criteria or schedules.
- Integrating Mastodon tag management into broader social media workflows.
For example, an admin could use this node to programmatically unfeature a trending tag that is no longer relevant or appropriate.
