No, we did not (nor did we use any other AI tool).

Then why did you knowingly put a bullshit arbitration clause in the ToS that's unenforceable in Germany?

"Knowingly" is a big word given that Mastodon GmbH has been transparent about not having extensive legal knowledge in-house and being dependent on their probono lawyers. Which is completely understandable given their company & team size.

Legal stuff is complicated and we're not all, always, experts at everything. FWIW https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon/114709820512537821
