@sam_c@mstdn.social @manton A Discover ‘view from nowhere’ isn’t possible. Micro.blog goes some way to address this by offering a whole set of Discover feed topics. Yes, very slanted towards the cozy web - deliberately I assume, to contrast with xitter. Still. Meditation but not insurrection.

So, micro.blog's "Discover" feed... 50 posts. 2 women. 2 reviews of this month's coffee subscription. At least 9 users with more than one post in the Discover feed (all dudes). Probably about a third of posts are travel/street/landscape photos. Many posts from well-known users who have been highly visible on the site for years. This is a hand-curated feed, and one of the only mechanisms to "discover" new people to follow.
