    I would imagine that somebody who is complaining about seeing a lot of right-wing propaganda is not somebody who would follow right-wing personalities. So if they are seen right-wing propaganda, that’s a problem.

    Perhaps it kind of just glitches out if you don’t follow anyone and just gives you anything.

      Maybe the instance they chose has more right-wing folks than average, and so their local is skewed?

        I tried the app when it launched because I was sick of Reddit.

        There were only right wingers on the site

          Sorry, my brain doesn’t know how to parse that.

          Mastodon isn’t an app or a site. It’s a social networking/microblogging service. So, you could use an app to access a Mastodon server, but that server wouldn’t be “the” Mastodon site, just “a” Mastodon server/instance.

          Maybe things were much more centralized in 2016, when you first tried it? I only joined last year.
