things it badly needs:
1) push notifications. be it web notifications or an app
2) public followers lists
3) some kind of way to see active/popular posts. I know this gets into “algorithm” territory, but right now discoverability isn’t great.
4) better mobile layout. right now I get a full screen of menu when I want to see more posts.
5) public API

yep. another thing is i got a bunch of likes on some posts. how many? idk. it doesn't say. who liked them? apparently only i can see

also the difference between between reply and comment isn't really clear. they seem to serve the same purpose, but comments aren't nearly as visible and there's no obvious way to see that there are new ones beyond the notifications page, which sucks

i just use my ipad, i haven't even tried on a phone yet. but if it's similar the ux would be ehh. its not good but it's usable

also "chosting" sounds weird, idk. perhaps we can call posting pals "chums" and posts "chum" also

there is some valid criticism there

but not a lot. this person either doesn't really know how contracts work (there's a reason legal dictionaries are distinct from, well, a regular one) or is willfully misinterpreting something that is only hypothetically enforceable, like a EULA

well, simply put, having a dispute resolution clause doesn't mean they're going to sue you for lying or using browser cache. it also doesn't mean you're gonna get sued for posting a patreon link or whatever, lmao (...they seem overly concerned about this.)

the class action waiver is bullshit, but you always have an opt-out. that's assuming a website tos would even be considered a valid contract, which it probably wouldn't be (and afaik has not been tested in court regardless)

they seem to be mad about "provide support for your content" part

interesting interpretation. i'm like 99% sure its the second one:

Achmed Jones posted:

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 don't think that's tortured at all. if you read it plainly that seems to be pretty much exactly what they're saying. yeah it's worded terribly, but i've never read a no-poo poo Binding Contract that was goddamn poetry lol

basically it's saying "if you gently caress up our service, we'll hold you responsible. more than that, you must clean up your own mess." which is eminently reasonable imo

like i said this is all academic anyway. i just did a(n admittedly very) quick search, and yeah, there's no settled precedent for software licensing even, which as a paid product you're forced to scroll through the terms for is undoubtedly going to be given more weight than a free website that doesn't make you do so
