With posts going around about the Mastodon HOA, I disagree with some of the points made by some.

Should you join the Mastodon HOA and annoyingly "correct" everyone who doesn't do things the way you want them to do them?

Hell, no!

Will people do things in ways other than how you want them to?

Yes.

Is this a moral failing on their part?

No.

Does this, by itself, constitute an attack on you, or an injury to you?

No.

But what are you supposed to do about it?

Nothing. That's the hardest part for members of the HOA to accept. You don't need to do anything when you see someone do things their own way. Ignore it. Move on with your life. See also: bean soup syndrome.

To clarify and defend against some attacks the HOA has directed against me in the past:

I think alt-text on images is a good thing.
I think people should use alt-text on images they post.
I put good, descriptive alt-text on pretty much every image I post, not just "Photo of <X>".
Do I yell at people who post images without alt-text? No.
Do I boost posts containing images without alt-text? Yes, if they're worth boosting.
Do I yell at people for boosting posts without alt-text? No, of course not. See above.

If you're in the HOA, you're part of the problem. Just stop.

@Lassielmr @xs4me2 @externelly @dennyhenke Just figure: Even today there are Jews, Arabs, Christians & Muslims, Druze & people of other faiths living in Israel.

Israel created as "European coloniser state"???? 🤔🙇😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You can't be serious!

Israel is the persecuted people's shelter from genocide, able to defend against any ambitious genocider, no matter from where he's attacking.

@xs4me2 @externelly @dennyhenke Inherited hate & enmity has brought the peoples of Israel & Palestine to the brink of Holocaust 2.0.

Which mustn't & won't happen. Israel is there & it's there to stay, where its homeland has been since 2000 years ago, until some other European force, the Romans came to displace them from their lands.
Time to let Israeli & Palestinian children grow up together in peace.

Do not let them die for Iran-funded martyrdom fantasies.

P.S.: Did you ever wonder, how often the virgins of Paradise are kicking martyrs' asses?
