I'm not sure what's my favorite part of this question, but I think it's the fact that you undoubtedly have, like me, agreed to all sorts of outlandish terms on corporate EULAs.

You saw the South Park episode, what they call it, with the... oh yeah, The Human Centipad, you saw that, right?

Does Mastodon even have an EULA? Maybe it needs one. It could say "Your data is your data, we do not own it, we won't sell it, and we also won't guarantee to store it for you indefinitely, so do your backups like a smart person."

edit cause I can't be bothered anymore

Yep. Have a great day!

EULAs and immortal social constructs like corporations are independent of the consequences of human actions upon other humans. Narratives of amorphous unaccountable Mastodon "community" don't change the fact that one or more humans made policy decisions with consequences for other humans. Fortunately, there are many projects competing to replace Mastodon, so lessons will be learnt eventually.
