Normalize ridiculing Fediverse scolds.

FWIW, I'm in favour of alt-text. I write *good* alt-text for all images I post.
But telling someone else they must do so, and must do it the way you want them to do it, is presumptuous and entitled. You're not their mother. #MYOB.

Does anyone know the gender breakdown of the Mastodon HOA?
Is it 100% guys? It's 100% guys, isn't it?

Sorry you have to deal with it.
It's the Mastodon HOA. They're the online version of the sanctimonious pricks who have to walk up to strangers in public to tell them they're breaking some rule or other, when it has absolutely no effect on them or anyone else. You know, the kind who wonder why they never get invited to parties.
Try to ignore them. Mute and block away! It's restorative.

@mattblaze occasionally notes the problems of the Mastodon HOA, mostly when they attack him for absolutely no comprehensible reason. Today was one such.
You can reliably assume that a bunch of mastoscolds will turn up in the replies to his (reasonable) description of what happened, downplaying the problem, insisting it's not that big a deal, that "you just block them, man, problem solved", or even threatening not to respond to his posts anymore (Don't you threaten me with a good time!).
And (finally) my point: those replies are an *excellent* source of accounts to mute or block. Problem solved, indeed.

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.

"That came out yesterday! How is that news?!?!"
It's news to people who haven't seen it yet. That's how "news" works.
Stop me if this is too detailed for you.

I'm anti-AI. Lord, if you read me at all, you'd know I'm extremely anti-AI. I don't use it, I don't endorse it, I criticize it, I anti-evangelize about it, I write letters to business people and politicians asking them to stop using it.
But I'm more "anti" orange pedophile fascist racist misogynist corrupt authoritarian Trump than I am anti-AI, and this was *funny*.
So I'm sorry that my use of the internet and the fediverse didn't meet your high standards. I suggest you ignore, mute, or block me - we'll probably both be happier that way.

Jebus. You really think he doesn't already know that?
The Mastodon HOA is still alive and well, it seems.

@jwz refers to the fediverse scolding brigade as the "Mastodon HOA", and if you're familiar with that peculiarly USAnian institution, full of wannabe-dictators and fun police, it's quite apt.
I alt-text my images. But not because randos show up in the replies demanding it -- despite them.

If you think the Fediverse and Mastodon are private places and that anything that makes them a bit more open and visible is an attack on your privacy, sorry to break it to you but you're in idiot.
