Now blocking anyone who spams HOA nonsense in my mentions.
And if the block is evaded, their server gets defederated.
I won’t even announce defederation. I’ll just do it.

in reply to John Francis • • •I don’t know how they find me, but usually they come to hijack a popular post to spread HOA nonsense. It usually goes like this:
Quite often you get lots of vitriol with people saying, “You don’t care about <insert issue> if you don’t do what I say.”
I’ve now come to the conclusion that anyone sending HOA messages in a repetitive manner is not seeking dialogue but is simply using my posts to hijack them for their own HOA silliness.

But then again, that shouldn’t surprise me because it’s the *threat* of defederation that makes them feel powerful.
One further point on this: they often weaponize their status as marginalized people to oppress other marginalized people.
For example, a few days ago, one of them told me they’re “just trying to protect their community.”
And I was like, “Fine, do what’s best for your community. But in the meantime, do you plan to host vulnerable people on your server who are leaving Big Social?”
Point blank, she told me, “No!”
That, right there, tells me she’s only interested in *her* people, the ones who’ve already arrived, and not the folks who are currently fleeing.
And considering Elon’s Nazi salute, I think growing the Fedi
