Caution: Mashable has a legally-illiterate article saying that the BlueSky TOS claim they OWN all your content.
And they back up this assertion by citing the TOS language, which says you grant them a LICENSE.
Which inherently means YOU own your content, and NOT them.
Does Mashable not have any fact checkers? This is not some obscure gotcha. It's utter garbage they decided to report with no actual understanding of what they were reporting...
