Do we have any leech experts on Mastodon? I'm looking into medicinal leeches, but the initial documentation is saying to never reuse them. This seems a bit cruel, even for an omnivore like me. I just need to lose 500ml to 1L of blood in total every month. Leeches seem like the best way to do this without buildup of scarring over time. I was considering a leech aquarium where I would be treating them like both treasured pets & medical assistants.

1) BlueSky Terms of Service gives Jack a 'perpetual' & 'irrevocable' license to all your content (posts, name, likeness, pics)

BlueSky can delete your account for any reason, but may refuse to delete it if you ask

You can't screenshot BlueSky

2) BlueSky's Privacy Policy says they'll stalk everything you do on the site, but also what you were doing before you got there & what you do after

They'll use cookies, pixel tags, & web beacons on app, web, & emails to stalk you all over the web

3) BlueSky's Privacy Policy says that there's no such thing as good InfoSec & if anything happens to your data because they don't care, it's 100% not their fault

They 'may' 'attempt' to notify you of a breach

4) You can ask to have your account deleted, but they may or may not approve that request. "you may request deletion of your account, which we will consider on a case by case basis"

5) "But isn't this standard ToS? " It's definitely not

Spend like five minutes putting in the effort to pull up the ToS for a few of the platforms & compare the sections

This is much worse than usual
