@waystationRichard @bazkiebazkie, ministry of gendersoup @markwynerMark Wyner Won’t Comply Mastodon is three things:

1. A nonprofit in Germany

2. A website mastodon.social, run by (1)

3. A software package, created by (1), which is running on (2) and also a number of independent websites.

Mastodon (1) is updating the TOS on Mastodon (2). But *additionally*, Mastodon (3) comes with a "template" TOS, suggested for use by instance operators. Mastodon (1) is also updating the "suggested" TOS distributed with Mastodon (3).

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://mastodon.social/users/mcc/statuses/114706910769423773 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
