@supernovae @mekkaokereke @damonoutlaw Yep, and the problem is that some people became religious about certain cultural practices, and that ended up with the HOA aspect Mekka alludes to.

For 8 years, Mastodon (mostly) had a culture that created a safe haven for certain marginalized groups.

Then in November 2022, that culture tried to enforce the rules and they suddenly no longer applied.

Even worse, the rules proved oppressive.
