All filters narrow minds.

Just to make clear, filters on Mastodon are entirely manually created by users so the user is fully aware of what they are hiding and why. They also don't move posts around or prioritise posts or anything like that.
Also, the user can optionally show filtered posts behind a content warning instead of hiding them completely.
That article seems to be talking more about automated opaque algorithms imposed upon users against their will by commercial social media?
