That #Guardian article on #Mastodon today has inaccuracies and implicit bias in its perspective.

"While technically anyone can spin up a Mastodon server, most users agree that the network has a left-leaning bent."

This propensity to push everything into right-vs-left polarization is annoying. Masto users seem to have a higher education level on average, and being well-informed, factual, and evidence-based get labeled "left" as if those things are some sort of political position.

@ottaross Everything is on its own spectrum, to be sure, but I've found that there's a pretty strong correlation between political leanings and those other traits. Perhaps it's a consequence of our ever-increasing polarization, driven by algorithms and the pursuit of the almighty dollar... I blame the Right 😄
