I remember reading a few months ago an excellent article by The Economist stating :
"The mechanisms of (internet) are only now beginning to be understood. One crucial process is “homophilous sorting”: like-minded people forming clusters."
What I love about Mastodon is that unless you go to the lenght of blocking everyone having a different opinion than yours, you are perpetually confronted to different perspectives, which I really think is a wonderful thing 🐘
