Description
### Impacted plugin
Social
### What
I would like to automatically deactivate the excerpt for each post
### How
This wall of text is too much. Maybe you could introduce a switch for this, but a simple hook would be enough. I would have to adjust this field manually for every post. It would defeat the purpose of a plugin that automatically shares in the network. The goal would be to share only the title and the link to the post.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the Jetpack Social plugin's publicize flow and the linked WordPress support discussion about disabling excerpts. Confirm how publicized messages are assembled and determine whether the requested behavior should be exposed as a switch or a hook. Done means publicized posts can share only their title and link without the excerpt.
