There has been a huge influx of Indian users and numbers are continuously increasing. Subsequently, it is also giving rise to the plethora of political posts. My question is, won't this platform turn into another Birdsite in this way? And if not, then why or how not?
@shibaprasad I have nothing against political posts .. nice thing about any social media is that YOU choose what you want to see, whom you want to follow ... and i hope mastodon will not be taken over by the leftist-jihadi cabal that has taken over Twitter ... in fact the federated structure could be a guard against that

Sadly the fediverse like anywhere else has plenty of extremists, both left and right wing extremists. However thankfully due to the federated structure, as you said, that sort of protects you.
We are a STEM instance so generally we dont have many extremists locally, they all tend to be on other servers. But that makes them easy to block as you can block an entire server from your account not just people.
