The important point here is that this puts a big decision in front of people before they get started, rather than treating this as something more like a post-signup engagement vehicle.

For general adoption, every ounce of friction has to be removed from signup.

Furthermore, reading the docs here[1]:

> Before you sign up for a service, it is important to understand its policies and terms of use. A Mastodon website will usually have its policies listed on the /about/more page, which can be found by clicking “learn more” on the landing page while not logged in to that website.

Every server can have different terms?

> Mastodon allows website administrators to set one of three different signup modes

:facepalm:
