Soooo...
There doesn't appear to be a single US #cellular carrier that doesn't have a #BindingArbitration clause in their #ToS.

Shazbat. 💢🙄

#Poll:

meetup.com is yet another online "service" that now requires a binding arbitration clause.
Those are a tool of the devil and should be illegal, but they're totally legal, and their ramifications are manifold, and horrible.

I really rely on meetup to find things to do and people to meet.

What should I do?

Freaking fiddlesticks!!

Now meetup.com requires a flipping #BindingArbitration clause to use their service.

So, what do I do? Stick to my guns and have no chance for a social life, or capitulate to the conniving, capricious capitalistic caper?

This is the stupidest timeline.

Holy crap, you can't even read an article on CNN without first agreeing to a #BindingArbitration clause.

Well hello, #Dillo!!!

Bluesky creates the world's weirdest, hardest-to-understand binding arbitration clause (15 Aug 2025)

https://pluralistic.net/2025/08/15/dogs-breakfast/#by-clicking-this-you-agree-on-behalf-of-your-employer-to-release-me-from-all-obligations-and-waivers-arising-from-any-and-all-NON-NEGOTIATED-agreements

I can't wait to use Bluesky, but I will not be joining Bluesky. As much as I trust and respect the Bluesky executives and board members I am acquainted with, I believe the service itself is insufficiently enshittification-resistant to trust

re: Mastodon.social and the "new" Terms of Service being proposed out there (see @sarahjamielewis @pluralistic today)

Like many in the #Fediverse, this has been a topic of concern amongst the admin crew here at #SocialBC!

We will not be adopting those terms for our users. Full stop.

If you are in British Columbia and would like to give us a try come on over. :) We're happy to help you with the migration.
