they seem to be mad about "provide support for your content" part. the tos says

quote:

You understand that any User Content you make available may be viewed by and accessible to ASSC and other Users. You agree to provide support for your User Content. The User Content must not be stored in a data repository that would enable any third-party access. You must store all User Content in a manner which enables you to identify, segregate and selectively delete such User Content.

i suspect that what it's trying to talk about is your repsponsibility after you download user content. you can't rehost it somewhere for everyone to get. ie, if you subscribe to someone's user content and pay for it, you aren't allowed to then just give it away. and you aren't allowed to write it to media you don't fully control (you can't put it on the blockchain or some poo poo idk).

there are couple other interpretations, but they're terrible:

it _can't_ be "you're not allowed to link to stuff that's available on your website." that'd be next-level dumb.

they might be trying to say "you can't host stuff that would enable third parties to access cohost.org (e.g. a script that you're gonna use a misconfiguration on to do an SSI attack)." this is reasonable, but it's kind of a tortured interpretation

i'm like 99% sure it's the first one, but it is indeed written terribly, and internet people are generally either too dumb or too disingenuous to attempt to give it a good-faith reading. and asking for clarification and not melting down until you get it is clearly gonna be right out for that type of person

yeah i mean, im not gonna argue about it, you might well be right. they'll probably refine it one way or the other and then it's settled

one thing that annoyed me about twitter was people who just retweet dumb poo poo all day long multiple times an hour and fill up your feed with constant crap that's not interesting

cohost has the same problem, only now the individual posts are bigger.

it's not for me i guess. that's ok. i'll keep poking around every few weeks to see if it's less annoying to me, and in the meantime i will yospost
