Arbitration waiver*
The github discussion is interesting. I don't think the arbitration clause is going to hold

Is it even possible to prove deletion of content if it has been distributed to hundreds of decentralized servers?
There is no legal precedent, but most likely you would only have to prove deletion on your own server.

how badly can you be abused by a twitter clone service you voluntarily agree to sign up to ?
Yeah, I don't like when corporations put stuff like that into their ToS, but at the same time, I 100% understand why every open-source license under the sun has it. You're giving it away for free, so you don't want people to sue for more than you're providing for free.
Mastodon.social is currently very much in the latter camp of giving things away for free. I also understand that a service is yet another beast than a piece of software, since they hold your personal data and may leak/sell it. But yeah, at this point in time, I wouldn't want someone to be able to sue Mastodon.social out of existence. I guess, it depends a lot on how it's formulated in the end...
Important to note that this is about the mastodon.social instance, not about all of Mastodon

Maybe that will push people to other instances
And/or (i suspect this is more likely) it will threaten to do so, and mastodon.social/.online will update their TOS to fix the problem identified in the bug report. Either way it's a win for federation, in that migration is relatively painless for the user..
I'm also really appreciating the speed and depth of the response to this from the community (e.g. all the comments on the bug report). It's cool to see!
edit: Also, Eugene's response is reasonable and levelheaded - seems like there will be some TOS improvements eventually.
