@fromjason @aral @Gargron Because there's no such centralized terms of service that binds all instances. Or did you mean Mastodon.social specifically?

@jameshisnthere @aral @Gargron federation comes with terms for most of the popular servers.

@fromjason @aral @Gargron Sure. every individual server has its own defederation standard. Most of the big servers seem to use a light hand compared to some when defederating entire servers and maybe do most of their moderation at the user level. At least, that's my impression.

There is a minimum standard to be included on the joinmastodon.org website, but threads won't be there regardless.

@jameshisnthere @aral honestly dude, I'm not into having a pedantic convo about mastodon terms. It derails and degrades the point that Meta has carte blanche with its interpolation by those with the most influential voices in the Fediverse.

If you're willing to advocate for a company like meta to gain access, why not be clear with what is and isn't acceptable from the jump? Seems like a reasonable thing to do.

@fromjason I'm sorry for coming across that way or if I misunderstood. I read your comment as asking for a blanket statement from some authority speaking for the entire fediverse, which is obviously impossible. In retrospect I realize you may have been asking for certain people to make it clearer that they won't give threads special treatment or maybe I just don't get what you're saying. But, yeah, I'll shut up now.
