why tos popups exist...
On a personal note: To say you won't go to a grid because they ask you to accept the tos is like saying you won't drive in a car because you're expected to wear a seat belt.

what comparison with seatbelt lol

It is easy. OS is not for commercial use. Then I don't need Grids like Kitely.

I hop from one home computer (grid) to another that are all private grids without any commercial interests and just for own joy and hobby.

If someone thinks he can make business (money) with 30 years old technology then he is a fool. (all the traffic charts with beacon is also silly and ridiculous, if you have just 3 people there. And those 3 people are anyway AFK so you could have placed better NPCs there lol)

I even use Tor to get on OSW site and I have no account there. I don't need all the spying who is there and what you are looking at.

Many in OS take themselves much too serious. And no one cares. ;-)

If people have contracts with google then they should not go in fediverse. Fediverse (Mastodon) just uses cookies e.g. for login. No other cookies are needed.

It is anyway just personal hobby of any server owner. Might it be for Mastodon or a grid in OS. Is the same in principle.

@jupiter_rowland Our grid has it not only for GDPR, it also communicates that we discourage content ripped from SL. It weeds out a lot of people who are really only interested in that.
