Update: it seems, they're taking the feedback seriously.

[email protected] - 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.
