What is HOA?
Home Owners Association a group or people that "polices" neighbors and has a hisyory of doing shady things. But he's referring to the actitude of "coming outta nowhere to tell you what to do" they have in common.
What S_H_K said, people have reported being rebuked for posting pictures without ALT-text and not CW-ing uncommon things like eye-contact or food, for example. One person notably received angry messages for posting about cutting their finger on a sheet of paper without CW. The worst accounts were of POC talking about racism they experienced and being told to put it under CW.
