Mastodon.social and mastodon.online users should be grateful to @mcc and Cory Doctorow for drawing attention about the awful ToS that M.S and M.O were about to implement.

Apparently the foundation had received very poor pro bono advice. Now they will get better advice.

And of course, any knee-jerking bros that came out to defend the awful ToS should hang their heads in shame.
