In the recent discourse about whether Mastodon is “hard to use,” I’ve seen a couple of people critiquing the “HOA culture” complaint.
“What HOA? Oh, you mean the people keeping TERFs and Nazis out?”
No. We mean the people telling Black users to CW posts about race. The guy who told me not to swear. And—as I was reminded of by this excellent npub1phwn6dgmq8uglef3gq2plqqfdf40pa2quzdmsvaqrz6nf55mr39qx2f6cj (npub1phw…f6cj) post tonight—people telling artists showing for-sale work that doing so is an “ad” and has no place here. *That* HOA.
