And so it goes, as predicted, increasing marginalisation and discrimination - apparently they are ‘potentially’ breaking the law

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.

Humanitarian Zionism: Voices for Peace and Coexistence
The article discusses the existence of humanitarian Zionists who prioritized ethical principles and coexistence rather than territorial expansion. Notable figures such as Albert Einstein, Martin Buber, and Hannah Arendt advocated for binationalism and critiqued exclusionary nationalism. Their contributions highlight the diverse moral perspectives within Zionism, emphasizing justice and equality.https://goodstrat.com/2026/01/12/humanitarian-zionism-voices-for-peace-and-coexistence/
Stop inventing discrimination markers.
But I guess this has to be addressed primarily to the people who are so much in their own world that they don't see anyone around.
That's the true reason why ever new ways of how you can hurt someone come into this world
if only we would agree to see human beings and be able to truly relate. We wouldn't have any discrimination markers.
So where does it start?
With people stopping to live ideas of life and begin living genuine relationships with others.
That means to accept first and foremost that there are other people out there.
And of course these people have different life's.
And different opinions.
That's called reality.
No need to get all roused up when a person that is different from you articulates itself different from you.
And there is also no need to look for things that could be twisted into an ill intend or insensitivity.
Because if you are honest you know very well that you are not so free of ill intends yourself.
So let's just live
and let live
ok?
Do you love animals? 🐾💚
The best thing you can do is to #LiveVegan.
According to representative surveys, 100% of all animals confirm that vegans are people of taste.
Let's get rid of the M in Meat together!
