HOA instances tend to be the ones where all the drama happens, and why bluesky people get the idea that it's a bunch of fiefdoms; because they're the type of people to gravitate towards HOA instances but they understand that that's boring.
Non-HOA instances just block chud / malicious instances and dead-dove-don't-eat whatever else, so they tend to actually be federated with the rest of fedi rather than being in an archipelago.
