It seems anytime I try to check out Mastodon it is always some negative political view or affiliation of why X, Y & Z is bad. Is this just what most people like boosting or is it a sign of botting to push negativity over the more positive headlines?

I do understand I can switch to any Mastodon instance I want and stick to a small community, however I like keeping up with trending topics in the world. Maybe the most popular accounts in the Mastodon community likes to rise up pitchforks every minute.

(sorry, english is not my first language) what does it means "negatively politically oriented"?

Imagine you have two friends talking about politics. One of them always says bad things about politicians and thinks everything is going wrong. They focus on problems and criticisms related to politics.
