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 That kind of thing drives me crazy. Who even are "most users?" At best, you'd be able to poll people from a few dozen servers - hardly "all"!
It's all in where you look. There are plenty of servers pushing plenty of opinions - most users just don't like to put up with the crazies.
