Solidarni ze skrzywdzonymi: przemówienie z 18 czerwca 2025
Powołanie niezależnej Komisji jest pierwszym krokiem, by Kościół w Polsce nie był wspólnotą lęku, ale przestrzenią prawdy i uzdrowienia. Jeśli biskupi nie chcą tej prawdy, to my – jako lud Boży – upomnimy się o nią.magazynkontakt.pl

In reading an important discussion of the IP assignment in the new Mastodon.social ToS:
github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i…
I was GOBSMACKED to discover the new ToS has a "binding arbitration waiver," which takes away your right to sue, no matter how badly the service abuses you.
These are profoundly unethical, terrible clauses. They should never, ever appear in "adhesion contracts" (that is, contracts that you merely click through, rather than negotiating.)
New Terms of Service IP clause cannot be terminated or revoked, not even by deleting content · Issue #35086 · mastodon/mastodon
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...GitHub
We've heard your feedback on the Terms of Service updates for mastodon.social and mastodon.online, and we're pausing the implementation date (previously announced to users via email as 1st July 2025) so we can take further advice and make improvements.It may take us a moment to consult with the right people, so please bear with us while we do so. As always, we appreciate your patience and support.

#marginalia #search #splash screen shows some cryptic messages every time I open it. There is even an accordion "Why am I seeing it?", but I never managed to open it - too fast transition to actual search page.
Anyone explain it to me, please?

Probably not worth it if we don’t currently have resource trouble. We should probably get a bit better monitoring though. <_<”
Oh and fyi this is likely not a long-term solution, if it gets too widespread then working around this specific countermeasure shouldn’t take more than a couple of days for a single dev.

We have updates on the investigations into SPD's violent response to counter-protest against fundamentalists at Cal Anderson in May.
There are six cases at the intake stage.

in reply to Cory Doctorow • • •No one, and I do mean NO ONE, should ever, ever, EVER agree to a binding arbitration waiver.
These are the most grotesquely unfair contractual terms in routine use today. The potential for abuse is literally unlimited.
Remember when a Disney World visitor died of an allergic reaction after being assured that her food order was allergen-free? Disney argued that her family couldn't sue because her husband had clicked through an arbitration waiver when signing up for a free trial of Disney Plus.

in reply to Cory Doctorow • • •I am very shocked to see this in the ToS for the flagship Mastodon instance, promulgated by the Mastodon nonprofit.
To be clear, I think this is *much* worse than, say, requiring users of mastodon.social to agree to have their posts used to train LLMs. The harms of having your work fed to an AI are mostly hypothetical and relate to moral qualms.
By contrast, a binding arbitration waiver would literally allow the management of mastodon.social to cause your DEATH and face no consequences.

in reply to Cory Doctorow • • •I am trying not to be dramatic here, but this is a deal-breaker for me - literally. I changed dentists because I wouldn't sign binding arbitration. I changed solar installers because I wouldn't sign binding arbitration.
I could never, in good conscience, recommend that someone use a service that required binding arbitration as a condition of use - which means that as of July 1, I would no longer be able to recommend that people get an account on mastodon.social.

Anyway, updated now.

in reply to Cory Doctorow • • •And since mastodon.social is the flagship instance, which sets the moral example - and the workaday template - for most instances in the Fediverse, this catastrophically bad clause is likely to proliferate far and wide throughout the Fediverse, rendering most of this new, better internet unfit for use.
Please, @Gargron, reconsider this. It is a very bad look - and worse still, it's a very, very bad example.

in reply to Cory Doctorow • • •Good to see that @Mastodon has hit pause on the new ToS and are going to revisit the offending clauses.
