I have been trying to think of ways of making the Fediverse more Friendly and Welcoming.

To people outside the Fediverse.

To people thinking of joining the Fediverse.

To people who recently joined the Fediverse.

And more.

...

What do YOU think could make the Fediverse more Friendly and Welcoming?

@reiver No technical mumbo jumbo during the onboarding. Keep tech people with no teaching skills away from the tutorials.
Disband the HOA (this one is a tough one).

@reiver @David what does HOA mean?

@aloxe @reiver "Home Owner Association" the gatekeepers that tell you what you should or shouldn't do on the Fediverse, as if they owned it. Spoiler alert: they don't own it and they have no more authority than anyone else about telling people what to do on it.
Sadly newcomers don't know that, and more than a few have been chased away from the Fediverse by the HOA (Bluesky is full of them, when you hear their experience here and why they don't want to come back, it makes you sad and angry)
