      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.

        They said they believe.

        Only knowledge has sources; but beliefs sound cool.

        I don’t know why I used a semicolon there, but it’s staying.

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

            I believe the section of concern was

              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
