Are you still looking into this, or have you decided to leave it in?<br/><br/>I know most people don&#39;t read the TOS, but I do, and I take it seriously. If you don&#39;t intend to remove the forced arbitration clause &amp; class action waiver, then I&#39;m going to start shopping around for a new instance (or just leave the platform altogether, because fuck it, if even Mastodon servers are going to foist this shit upon users). 2025-10-08T00:00:57Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsrqygrzwh2rjpn4y5sa4nz4hy6atx3ae54v688exvutaq8eap6x4szypsvxa20dxe97rkn2wygklmnzrg7xwa40axz6543tg6uh7j7u4ckjtwyfyx In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvfqpch33qkjlg7vjph9awm49pqx6ypu276uamt3npcpuj5q97pqs3punnk'>nevent1q…unnk</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Do try to remember that all cops are bastards though.
