SwiftOnSecurityWelcome to Mastodon, for the people who move into an unincorporated area of the county so they don't have to deal with The Man, but then setup a HOA.
ocdtrekkie@SwiftOnSecurity This crowd will eventually finalize their threat to isolate themselves from everyone else, and then we'll move on. IMHO if they wanna defederate everyone, encourage them to get on with it already.

Aaron Allermann@SwiftOnSecurity (looks over at The Man) ...least my roof isn't actively on fire right now, more than I can say for them.
@SwiftOnSecurity UPDATE: also here I can read MORE THAN 600 POSTS A DAY IF I WANTED TO holy moses
ThomasAPowell@SwiftOnSecurity well actually…you must put a content warning on this toot! 😜

THIS ACCOUNT HAS MOVED@SwiftOnSecurity the people who buy a farmette on a gravel road and then lobby the county to pave the road
@SwiftOnSecurity such an impossible choice. Maybe one of the buttons should be green.

Nathan ✉️🔎@SwiftOnSecurity why can’t I quote tweet this??
Utility Nerd@SwiftOnSecurity It wasn't so much "the man" as "that man in particular."
Sleeplessone@SwiftOnSecurity My "The Man" will certainly be better than their "The Man"!
Joe Steinbring 
@SwiftOnSecurity No HOAs here
Don MacDonald
Bynkii@SwiftOnSecurity the bears are absolutely gong to take over
Ian Douglas Scott@SwiftOnSecurity Twitter meanwhile is for the people who don't want the government telling them what to do, but enthusiastically move to the company town owned by Elon Musk.
Hey, at least the HOA is an improvement? Maybe?
gigantos@ids1024 @SwiftOnSecurity maybe there is something to the idea that people search for infallible superior leaders (nobility). I guess these days they are just replaced by founders of billion dollar companies
wb x64@ids1024 @SwiftOnSecurity exactly, "HOA" has a bad rap compared to "self-governing independent commune that takes care of its members against a persistent Nazi threat"
I guess the major difference is whether we're telling Tay she needs to put a fence around her garbage can, or to stop hanging out with people who have red arm bands. Unfortunately in between is stuff like "never CWs upsetting stuff"
Kroc Camen@SwiftOnSecurity Feck it, I'm going back to RSS!
Cat C-B@SwiftOnSecurity On corporate social media, I have never had any success with reporting even the most outrageous racist, homophobic, or transphobic posts for moderation.
On Mastodon, I have never yet seen such a report fail to bring a response.
I’m good with that, frankly.

@SwiftOnSecurity ugh I know half of the people in this thread likely are LIKE REMOVE CONTENT WARNINGS, like fuck off, this platform wasn't build for the ratios, or dunking on people. It was built so people could use social media without having a panic attack from doom scrolling, it was built so minorities could speak their mind without some white influencer from QTing them and sending 14.4K to harass some random black person. If this makes it an "HOA" fuck you. Go back to twitter where the facist roam free. Go back to your doom scrolling hell.
@SwiftOnSecurity Its also like Mastodon pandered to you all and commuted to adding quote toots and full text searchm like you all came here, made our platform worse and left.
༒ ɐɥɔǝʇɐɯ ʍǝɹpuɐ ༒@SwiftOnSecurity @SomaFMrusty uhh I mean… no? “no nazis or abusive bullshit” isn’t setting up an HOA, it’s having a rad backyard chill space with your buddies and listening to some rad tunes.
Zach777@SwiftOnSecurity I honestly think Mastodon being the HOA of the fediverse is kinda funny.
Mastodon even has the odd formatting rules to go along with it.

Gamy@SwiftOnSecurity what did I miss? Who's defederating who? 🤔
eli@SwiftOnSecurity are people really that dumb about their instance federation? sad
Luna Lactea@SwiftOnSecurity I haven't seen any HOA kind of activity. What's happening now?
Amanda Weaver@SwiftOnSecurity This is sadly kind of accurate. But HOAs suck so it would be great if we collectively stop doing that here.
Jerry 🦙💝🦙@SwiftOnSecurity it’s harsh, but it’s true.
Taggart@jerry @SwiftOnSecurity I'm seeing elitist mentions of home ownership, but I'm not seeing a CW???
@infosec_jcp 🐈🃏 done differently@mttaggart @jerry @SwiftOnSecurity
Probably because it went to #P92 from here but we got blocked, by default, for seeing their replys. 😂
Jeff Atwood@jerry @SwiftOnSecurity funniest jokes are always true, nailed it 🔨

BrankoEs@SwiftOnSecurity hi, I'm super new to mastodon (made an account 10 min ago) what does this mean??

🤡@SwiftOnSecurity I laugh so hard I snorted
Stu Duerson, machina exo deus
Edd@SwiftOnSecurity sorry, per section 5, subsection C of the mastodon HOA agreement (that you agreed to when your post was federated to my server): 'no posts disparaging the hoa may be posted on any social media, centralised or otherwise, without prior agreement of the board'. Your $€350 penalty charge is in the mail.
tinspin@SwiftOnSecurity Isn't RSS better than ActivityPub? The only bottleneck being that we have no decentralized RSS readers?

I moved to New England from Florida and I always found it hilarious that all these self-labeled “libertarians” all seemed to live in HOA communities in FL where they never seemed to make the connection between “mandatory HOA fee” and “tax” 🙄

Manu@SwiftOnSecurity What is HOA?
Charming Imposter@SwiftOnSecurity LOL. I nearly spit my drink out at that. So true. The "We do it this way here" attitude is so HOA. Not that this is a fediverse only problem. Every religion, and ethnic culture does the same.
echarlie@SwiftOnSecurity It's great if you're the president of the HOA. Or as a friend (who is defacto the president of his) says: "wartime God-lord tiki torch emperor-prophet" of $NEIGHBORHOOD
Mara Huldra@SwiftOnSecurity that is a bit of a cheap dig, not everyone here is like that!😀 but i have to admit i have to tune out the meta and ethics discussion about the platform, i don't have the energy for that, forgive me for just trying to have some fun online while i can
and with all the "1000 tips to be a better citizen" posts i feel so self-conscious about what i post here, so i end up posting even less than on twitter
Karl Katzke@SwiftOnSecurity just waiting for someone to set up a 55+ fediverse…
Brian Clark@SwiftOnSecurity I like the analogy! But it hits a little too close to home.
