    And then I get even more random irrelevant crap because everyone talking about their latest rp adventures in stardew valley tags steam, gaming, indiegaming and other general hashtags.

    There's some of that, but I prefer it for something like micro blogging. I want to see different things, points of view. By contrast, I'll go to a news site for specific info. I love Mastodon because there's a unvarnished stream of information that isn't curated by algorithms. :D
