It still looks pretty standard for a social media platform, it covers their bases for legalities. I can see how someone could read that and be concerned, but I’ll bet https://mastodon.social/@dansup would reply if someone asked a question for clarification on mastodon, he’s generally really good about that.

Edit Update: Seems like someone had similar concerns and dansup replied here: https://mstdn.social/@EdanOsborne/113413398742299770

What exactly is a red flag there? It seems pretty boilerplate from a quick skim.

Wanna source that? Cause I’ve been following loops a bit and haven’t seen anything close to that. If anything it’s the opposite.

Thank you for proving the point.

Aight. I’m glad your anecdotal experience in life is indicative of mine and what I’ve interacted with, seen, and read.

Iono why I tried interacting with a hex user in the first place. It always seems to end up in derision and self-labeled omniscience.

The latter might have had a resurgence because of GoT, but I definitely heard the phrase before the show came out. I had to look it up to make sure, but it’s origins go back to the 1800s.
