   New mastodon.social TOS are weird.

   "You are prohibited to use, launch, develop, or distribute any automated system, including without limitation, any spider, robot, cheat utility, scraper, offline reader, or any data mining or similar data gathering extraction tools to access the Instance..."

   Nice!

   But then:

   "You are prohibited to use or launch any unauthorized script or other software"

   Uhm, this is problematic. Where is this list of "authorized" software to access this instance?

     @fribbledom Are those ToS publicly accessible? Can't find them. Even when attempting to sign up, I only have to accept the server rules and the privacy policy, but no ToS.
