Mastodon doesn't have a recommendation engine really. If you're getting lots of right wing lies and propaganda, then it's because of who you chose to follow.
I would imagine that somebody who is complaining about seeing a lot of right-wing propaganda is not somebody who would follow right-wing personalities. So if they are seen right-wing propaganda, that's a problem.
Perhaps it kind of just glitches out if you don't follow anyone and just gives you anything.
Maybe the instance they chose has more right-wing folks than average, and so their local is skewed?
I tried the app when it launched because I was sick of Reddit.
There were only right wingers on the site
Sorry, my brain doesn't know how to parse that.
Mastodon isn't an app or a site. It's a social networking/microblogging service. So, you could use an app to access a Mastodon server, but that server wouldn't be "the" Mastodon site, just "a" Mastodon server/instance.
Maybe things were much more centralized in 2016, when you first tried it? I only joined last year.
