Just read the most infuriating blog post ever, where this person tries to equate alt text as a HOA, Homeowner association. Fuck you, and can someone make a block list of these jackasses so I can nuke them all in one place?

The first reasoning is also flawed. Maybe it's a screenshot of a different sentence than the one you have as a featured image on your blog. The point is, you know, we don't, and it sounds like this person is using his limited knowledge of screen readers to justify his individualistic brave stance online.

His second point deserves no rebuke.

But I've long since muted him. This also might shock you, but you're also using HOA wrong as well, if you really wanna get nit picky about it. Why don't you actually try learning what the HOA actually does offline to enact discrimination instead of using it incorrectly.

But I'm starting to see this kind of attitude all the time, and it always, always, comes from the mainstream internet, where everybody never had to think about others.

It's getting to the point where I mute/block everyone that uses the word, HOA, because these very Twitter people can't comprehend communities.

I've made it my personal mission to be blocked by these kinds of people by scolding them until they block me. Trust me, they won't be worth your feed.
