Mastodon is pretty much anti-that. No algorithm. If you don't like something, you just don't follow it. Nothing defaults to the instance/global timeline either and you're free to mute anything.

This hasn't been my observation. Yeah you can mute whatever you want (you can on Twitter and Bluesky also) but the HOA tendencies of Mastodon servers are alive and well. If you're a very online type of person and "live and die" by online social currents then no problem, but for others I'm not sure.
