sometimes I have things to say! if you want I can say the things to you (they/them)

I agree with that assessment. Council shouldn't be a rubber stamp. C'mon.
So @somershade.bsky.social is completely out of fucks with this, and I really fucking agree with him. Read this entire thread. WTAF is with this mayor.

This TOS had multiple problems, and several people said so loudly. This morning, Mastodon announced they're backing off and taking additional legal advice:
I've posted a Github issue outlining why I'm freaked out at the word "irrevokable" in Mastodon's new TOS IP clause:

It's sort of long (sorry), but several people seemed confused what my problem was earlier, so maybe extra detail will help. I include an outline of my "nightmare scenario", and contrast other site TOSes.

Summary Since it first opened, mastodon.social has operated without any sort of explicit IP grant from the users to the service, which is unusual for a social networking service. Today Mastodon ann...

OKAY WOW. WOW. THE WHOLE THING WHILE I WAS SLEEPING. WOW.
The EU citizen initiative petitioning the European Parliament to outlaw "conversion therapy" ("curing" LGBTs via torture) has met its threshold (1M votes and 8 countries supporting).
One week ago I sincerely thought y'all wouldn't make it. Amazing work Europe (and hi5 Germany, now country 8).
This is an incredible statement at a time the US/UK govt are forcing conversion (medical detransition) for trans minors.
