@freemo Good afternoon Mr. Freemo!
Would you mind adding a generic privacy policy and Terms of Service to qoto.org service ?
Thanks in advance !
@ravenclaw if its just some generic statement rather than something hand crafted then what is the intended goal?
In a sense we already have a hand crafted one at about/more but I suspect you mean one that is more legal sounding?
I have no real objection but im trying to evaluate the intended goal here.
@freemo
Thanks for the quick response sir.
Yes. "Legal", just for sake of it.
@ravenclaw Is it something you'd personally like or benefit from, or just a general suggestion becauseyou feel it would offer QOTO some sense of legal protection?
I agree with you and will look into doing it. Just really curious why it would be something you desire. I find most people never care nor notice it when there is one. My concern is legal jargon might scare users away and give a negative impression, but i think it does serve a purpose.
@freemo
> is it something you'd personally like or benefit from.
Well yes, but actually yes.
After doing a quick look on the qoto user graph on @users . I see a steady raise of registered user.
And seeing this instance were meant to be a place for "stem" oriented people (at least that's my thought on of the "about page" of this instance).
Having legal protection might seems nice.

I mean. Most of us who ditch tw**ter for mastodon were concern about our privacy and them cencoring people.
And seeing qoto.org federates with all instance warms my heart. (No cencoring )
Maybe it's time to put a privacy policy since the "about this instance" seems clear about it's terms of service.
@ravenclaw @freemo
In the legal sense where ever his servers are located that country's laws apply, I think
@freemo @ravenclaw
Also the country you are yourself in is the first legal jurisdiction for you.
Anyway legality is a complex matter.
@freemo @ravenclaw
Yeah, "you" is general there, refers to everyone
@mur2501
By "you" I presume you mean whoever the user happens to be, and not me?
