Ah, haven't heard that one. Doesn't sound ideal.

Seems like the platonic ideal of a politician: reasonable, compassionate, nothing to prove. In it for the public good. He's what I like to think I'd be like as a politician - if I was also the super hot charismatic former captain of a national rugby team. 🤷‍♂️ #AusPol

The default view is chronological based on your follows, so "power over what you see" is mostly a non-issue. There's also a "trending" algorithm based on what people from your server interact with. I do really like the idea of multiple and custom algorithms here though - it's a great feature!

I don't really know what means? That's technically true of every website and app in existence. The main difference in Mastodon's favour is there are lots of different servers, and many of them are community-volunteer run.

Beautiful Mucha vibes. 🙏
