I have a paragraph instance on a node, the instance is not required. The fields attached onto each paragraph instance are required. Upon creating a new node, I leave the default instance blank and press publish however then run into validation issues as fields attached to the paragraph instance are required.
It was noted,
And if you don't want a paragraph added by default, you can edit the paragraphs field widget settings and choose there to not create an instance by default.

QUESTION - is this not in 8.x-1.1?
Fixed
1.1
User interface
Not all content is available!
It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
Incase anyone finds this question and wants a spelled out answer:
You can disable the default paragraph by going to "form display" on your content type, and edit the field widget settings (gear icon to the right of your field)
EX PATH: admin/structure/types/manage/CONTENT-TYPE/form-display
You will then adjust "Default paragraph type" to NONE and you will not have a default paragraph displayed.
