It seems anytime I try to check out Mastodon it is always some negative political view or affiliation of why X, Y & Z is bad. Is this just what most people like boosting or is it a sign of botting to push negativity over the more positive headlines?

I do understand I can switch to any Mastodon instance I want and stick to a small community, however I like keeping up with trending topics in the world. Maybe the most popular accounts in the Mastodon community likes to rise up pitchforks every minute.

Mine is all amiga and Commodore 64 games. Not the exact scenario I was expecting when following #retrogaming

Yeah, not what I'd expect either. The lack of an algorithm is one of the things I'm not crazy about on there. It took me months to get into Mastodon at first because I got tired of the complaints about Elon. I only know one person on the platform too. But I do like the cat pictures.

Wait, what did you expect when you followed #retrogaming?

[-] TORFdot0@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I expected more console games that 80s computers, not that I’m complaining. Just not a world I was familiar with
