Mastodon comms person here. We're discussing how we go forward. The questions being asked are all absolutely reasonable, and we want to do what we can to improve the terms (that we do need to have in place) taking into account the feedback and offers of support.

This entire exchange is refreshingly wholesome.

I'm still new to FOSS/Fediverse etcetc, but seeing someone just explain ToS like a human is so fucking refreshing.

Any plans of releasing the terms as open source, so smaller instances can adopt them?

The upcoming 4.4 release has a generator based on a template, which was this one. We will look into whether we need to put that feature on hold from the 4.4 release while we work through this, however, yes the idea is that there would be a template set of terms that any instance could customise and adopt.
